- 3/9 2:58 pm - An 80's adaptation of Shakespeare!? I'm in... Some thoughtful work went into this. The music, the intro, some of the titles. What is the real grab of this show, thought? The 80's, right?!? What other 80's elements could you have brought into this piece? Some of the sound could have used a boost here and there. I like the FTB with the end of the song. You definitely have a call to action but really lathering this entire promo with 80s elements would have locked a lot of people in.
- 3/6 9:20 am - First off, you grabbed me with the music underneath, Soft Cell, nicely done. That gives the 1980's vibe for sure, especially for someone that lived in that decade and recognizes the music. Additionally, since the adaptation of the play takes place in the 80's you establish that vibe well with that music choice. Some things to consider... When I think of the 80's some of the outlandish bright colors come to mind. I think that you could enhance this with some loud graphics that give the title of the performance, the location, time, etc. You have some titles, but they're pretty subdued. That would have contributed to the 80's vibe for sure. The opening shot of the bullet-style camera heading into the building, we can see the camera person's reflection... not that it's the end of the world, but a strategic cut there could have eliminated that. You got some natural audio in there too during rehearsals, that was a nice touch. Gives us some behind the scenes looks etc. Overall I think this piece does what it's supposed to do, tells me about the show. Bedazzle it some more with the 1980's themes and I think it would really be a grabber!
