Creating a Plan for my Trailer:

 For creating a plan for my Trailer, I decided first to look at what is going to be said in order to figure out what shots I wanted to convey and what kind of theme I was going for.

VO / Script / What is going to be said:

In a decisive battle that had determined the turnout of the war,
The King lost his highest ranked general who was also his close friend.

In the mountains, the king commissioned a mausoleum memorial in his honor where the battle took place.

Some rumors say that the King built this ruin to
keep the generals image even though he committed treason.

After I figured out exactly what I wanted to say about my story, I was ready to create a plan on exactly how to portray it visually though my trailer.

Thumbnails:

I knew I wanted it to start off visually showing the sun, I think it provides visual interest and is the theme of my map overall.

After that, I wanted to have it showing off the environment in a similar view as it showed off in the first scene. I think gives a basic idea of the whole map.

I wanted it to show the middle/puzzle bit , almost like its orbiting the orb in the middle, just to show more of the scene.

Next I wanted to have some closeups in certain areas (my three corners or just places that are visually interesting in my level.)

Randomly, while doing my scenes I thought it would be interesting for the main character to have posters of the temple in his room referencing the first scenes.

Then I was thinking about introducing the next place which would be the starting area, just to show off some of the nature or aspects that aren't just the temple itself.

Music/Sound effects in the Trailer:

For the music, I just decided to use either the Vocal version of the song or the Underscore version of the song.
I wanted to have a really strong introductory to my piece but still having the BGM and the trailer the same.
For SFX I will probably only have the wind blowing, and maybe some extra drums here and there.
