Marketing - Things you think need to be shown before December 10!
|

There has been a lot of debate of whether these movies were marketed and promoted as they should have been. But I ask you - what do you think will have to be shown - on posters, the trailer, interviews or vlogs - before the movie hits the screen in order to generate buzz and excitement with the general audience - maybe even those who didn't return for DoS or even already AUJ?! My personal pick: We need to see some White Council battle scenes - especially a great action shot of Galadriel - in the trailer. Reading through FB and Twitter, people seem to be very intrigued by her potential role in Bot5A. And we know from PJ that she "loses it" a bit at Dol Guldur. What would be your must-use marketing material?
"I am afraid it is only too likely to be true what you say about the critics and the public. I am dreading the publication for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at." J.R.R. Tolkien We all have our hearts and minds one way or another invested in these books and movies. So we all mind and should show the necessary respect.

Small glimpses of Smaug destroying Laketown. Can't have people wondering why Smaug isn't in it after the cliffhanger ending that was DoS. Just small glimpses are fine, like the shot in the first trailer.
Our destiny lies above us.

Sauron! (and some battle action from BotFA)

I think people need to know or be reminded of that the forces of good now face the ultimate evil - Sauron. I would like to see the WC fight the "fiery armor guy" in the next trailer - not the eye or the inkblot (although, we most likely only get to see The Eye, since that is what most people associate and connect with Sauron). I also think we need to see some battle action - people are expecting it (the film is named The Battle of the Five Armies after all...).
Now now Bill, you swore this was a battle between warriors, not a bunch of miss nancies, so warriors is what I brought

...doesn't want to see any more glimpses of the White Council battle scenes. I just want PJ to surprise me on this one. I think the clips with Galadriel kissing Gandalf is more than enough.

If I knew absolutely nothing about these films, for me if there were a tag line about "against the darkest of shadow, all stand together, or all will fall..." sorry that's not great, but something like that. Something that emphasizes these disparate groups who may not even like each other joining, and how desperate the situation is. And perhaps darkened silhouette type posters so as not to spoil, but enough to get across the shapes of men, elves, dwarves, and other creatures. And one little hobbit.

That Beorn image is great! I so wish he had been made into a major character in DOS (he is that for me from the Hobbit book).

We need to see some White Council battle scenes - especially a great action shot of Galadriel - in the trailer This is what I would like to see as well. Of course they shouldn't give away too much, but a couple of action shots of Galadriel and the other members of the council would be very welcome.

A hint of Galadriel confrontation with Sauron is all I need. I do not want them to spoil the scene, but I want them to show us something that will make us gasp and want to see the movie more than we are already wanting.

Not so much in the sense of imagery, but...

...I just think they need to show the trailer in more theaters, as well as plenty of TV spots during various events such as football games, big television show premieres/finales...etc. I've seen football games sponsored by "The Hobbit" and things like that. Maybe cardboard cutouts in stores, billboards on roads and in cities, Subway kids toys based on The Hobbit....etc Getting the word out in more ways than usual can really help. Finally, I think mentioning that this is 'The End' of Middle Earth would be great!

Posters for both Saruman and Sauron at Dol Guldur. Also would be nice to see them in a trailer.

I really like that image too, in that to me it conveys the immense force Beorn I think is supposed to be. I like to think that the WETA folks are very busy ensuring Beorn will be as epic as Smaug, at the end (hope).
