Okay, the subject line might be a bit confusing...I promise I'm not giving all of my possessions away. What I'm trying to do, is to figure out just how much information to put in our synopsis. Okay, wait, maybe I should start at the beginning rather then to jump right in to the issue. Here's what's going on...
Elizabeth and I have started the ball rolling on the creation of the Clombies' website design and launch. It's going to be pretty simple and clean at first, considering the film hasn't been made yet and there isn't much to put up. Really the only thing we want up right now is a synopsis and an investor's area. The site will grow as we get farther into soft-prep and pre-pro, but until then we're going to keep it simple. The designs for the poster art have been awesome, we've seen several different directions for the art to go and they are all really good, the great thing about Clombies is it has a few different angles that you can choice to promote from. But that also creates problems because it means you have several different fanbases and you have to decide if you want to focus on one or two of the fanbases or as they say, throw the baby out with the water, and try to hit every fanbase. So, the problem is, we don't want to give away every twist right here at the beginning but we also don't want to miss any opportunity to draw as many fans to the film...so the dilemma is what is too little and what is too much?
Any of you have an opinion on this? Things that you might have noticed? Or is there maybe a standard for website synopsis'? Probably not, like most things in film you just have to figure out what's right for your project and go with that. Anyway, E and I plan on working on the synopsis today...Among other things I need to get done. What do you think if I test out the synopsis E and I come up with with you guys...are you willing to help a girl out?
