The time has come. When I start a new book, I usually make a video/trailer to start it off, to get me into the general mood to write. As Book 6, Revenge, started to roll around, I made a trailer a few months ago. But it was over-long, and the videos and dialogue didn't really tell the story of what Revenge is going to be.
So I made a new one.
The second trailer is half as short as the first one, but it packs more of a punch. I found an actress that fit perfectly with Thea and her final character development, and used a lot of her scenes for Thea in the trailer. The dialogue is more constant and fits more with the chaotic, life-or-death atmosphere Revenge perpetuates, and its quicker pace allows the viewer more of an intense blood-pumping viewing of how the story will carry out.
The trailer contained scenes and dialogue from the following movies/TV shows:
- The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013)
- Dracula: The Dark Prince (2013)
- Camelot (TV show)
- Only Lovers Left Alive
- Game of Thrones (briefly)
- Teen Wolf (briefly)
- Vikings (TV show) (briefly)
- Vampire Diaries (briefly)
- Once Upon a Time (TV show) (briefly)
- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
- Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (briefly)
- Crimson Peak (briefly)
- Thor: The Dark World
The trailer also finalizes Thea's (the main character's) final transition from a dependent 13 year-old child to a fierce 17 year-old warrior.
This first video is the trailer for the first book (although it includes characters from the third and fourth books accidentally), and Thea's character in it juxtaposes with the second video, the trailer for Revenge.
