Creative Critical Reflection #2

             In my film, I attempt to lessen as much of an info dump as possible in the world. As if it’s simply an experience rather than a roller coaster ride if that makes any sense. I would want my viewers to be intrigued; to be curious. To want to learn more of the world, even if the limitations are where they will simply not be told anything via an info dump.

       How this would become a part of my advertising, I would need to select my words carefully, to tell what it be based off of without revealing so much. Just like what was done for the advertising of Gone Girl, specifically for its postures. Although the little information given is more visual but the text still aids to supplement to its title of “You don’t know you have it till its…” How I could do this is by simplifying my title to make it understandable or better yet, use a synonym for it to aid understanding. Such as saying “A Weapon to Rip the Very Soul” to help give a sense of where the plot is headed without really telling the specifics. The poster could have an image of the protagonist seemingly falling through an endless ocean as a golden wisp of itself seems to separate from them.

       How it could be further advertised is by having the villain Narrate the trailer itself, giving them more character and value through it, showing their prominence and potential control over the story. This had been done before in trailers such as Deadpool 2, where the main antagonist seemingly talks about themselves and how they’re going to take down the protagonist. This is my aim if a trailer would be made with them. Although it would focus more on my protagonist as it shows snippets of them on different planets and ships in the solar system until it gets to the very moment that could be teased on the poster in a more up close way to the face. This would also tie in with my main point as the trailer talks of the situation, rather than the world.
