You have to decide….and remember – contact publisher, not author for permission

Final ProjectSome Guidelines…

The longer the trailer, the more interest will wane….

Subtitles should not be paragraphs

Always attribute your images, music, cover, et al…

Remember: less is more

Time to Make One!!! : )

Two households, both alike in dignity,     In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,     From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,     Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.     From forth the fatal loins of these two foes     A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;     Whole misadventured piteous overthrows     Do with their death bury their parents' strife.     The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,     And the continuance of their parents' rage,     Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,     Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;     The which if you with patient ears attend,     What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

Shakespeare, William. Romeo and Juliet, Act I Prologue
