 * Day 2**
 * Define what historical aspects you would like to highlight (if it were a feature length film).
 * Provide an explanation as to how your trailer is going to be historically accurate! We can't spare expenses for inaccuracy!
 * What (historically) is your group going to highlight in a trailer (1 - 2 minutes)?
 * Which characters are you going to portray in the trailer?
 * What types of locations are you going to need to shoot the trailer?
 * Are you going to need any props?
 * Are you going to use any historical footage?

Create an outline of the trailer - what are you going to show in order? Use your outline to create a storyboard of events. Be sure to include everything that you want to show in the trailer. (Titles, edits, fades, music - you need to work together to figure it all out! There is a lot of ground that has to be covered in a short period of time!)
