Changes to storyboard ideas

After discussing with some of my target audience what they thought of the ideas for my teaser trailer, I have made some amends to the shots:

The third shot on the storyboard (that was originally the merry-go-round shot with the couple talking) will now be changed to just a normal shot of a merry-go-round with people on it, and then another shot will be inserted later in the teaser of the same merry-go-round, but with darker lighting and with no-one on it.
Instead of the dialogue in the merry-go-round shot, I will have inter-titles asking the audience questions to get them interested.

The sixth shot (of the character in the dark room, opening the door) will have sufficiently less dialogue in it. The original idea of the character giving out a distress signal in the video has now been changed to maybe short clips of voice trying to give out a distress call, but not the whole thing to make the shot shorter and more mysterious within the teaser.

The reason why the writing in the eighth shot has been crossed out is because that was the first idea to go. I wrote it in there to show that writing will be there, but i wasn't sure what the writing would say.

Instead of a specific release date in the shot after that, I may change that to something simple like "coming soon" or a seasonal release like "winter 2011" or maybe even based on a holiday - "halloween 2011".
