Trailer Pieces
1. Chase scene – don’t have to cut it all in – use maybe the best parts? And you can show different parts at different times
2. Character defining moments – we see the character(s) in moments that tell us what they are, who they are, what they want, and gives us a sense of their awesomeness
3. Opposition – what is happening to challenge the hero? We need to see some of this – some kind of counter-energy – could be the elements or a pack of wild Snapes or whatever
4. Establish the places – where are we seeing the hero
5. Show some feeling, maybe sad or romantic or dread – show some of that
6. Something that gives us a sense of where it’s all going – what’s at stake?
7. Variation – if you focus on one dominant feeling, you should also have a little of some other feeling – ie comic relief? Romance? Whatever
8. A slogan or catchphrase or some kind of clever line or two can also build excitement
