The first piece sounds okay, the second sounds good but a bit too reminiscent of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme. I like the final song but I don't believe its suited to Narnia (too modern). This one below sounds better but perhaps its still too modern. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISzK6e237II&feature=PlayList&p=2CE80C06ECBDC686&index=49&playnext=4&playnext_from=PL

Some of your ideas are good but any tag-line with '...beyond your imagination', should be scrapped. It's generic, overused and really, really bad.
Also, please don't post in capitals, it's not good Internet etiquette.

That music you provided could work, sounds a lot like LWW, a lot. I agree that "beyond your imagination" should be scrapped, but i would simply advocate "beyond imagination" i think that without the word "your", it might work. but doesnt anyone think that the use if the word "voyage" is a good one?being that its in the title, so say something to the like of "voyage for redemption" or "voyage BEYOND NARNIA?"whatever the filmmakers decide it MUST MUST work, the trailer is te single most important piece of marketing to the world, its the window they will get to see of the film. Of course they could always compose the music, but i really hope the trailer music wll be an emotional fantasy theme, what did you think of using eustance crying scene in the trailer to add dramatic wieght?

Change "Beyond your imagination" to AslanIsKang's idea of "Beyond Narnia" and either AslanIsKing's last song or Warrior4Jesus's song ( I can't pick, the music is so great for narnia!) and I think you got it.
I think they should show really short flashbacks of LWW and PC. If they say something like " Through the Wardrobe" (i know, i know, I'm not that creative ) they could show Lucy stepping through the snow, and in Prince Caspian, maybe a shot of caspian at the dancing lawn. Then they focus on VotDT.

@ HappyGiant: They'd probably show those clips from previous films in a "supertrailer" which highlights all three films. But maybe they'll just incorporate one shot from LWW and one from PC. That would be cool.

Why not use some music from X-Ray Dog? They write little clips for all sorts of movie trailers, including Pirates of the Caribbean and LWW. In fact, it's more than likely that the trailer music will come from them.

Here are some examples:

... re=related

There are tons more on YT. Just a suggestion, of course.

P.S. Couldn't help but add my favorite short soundtrack piece: Septimus.

Can't they just use some pieces from the VDT soundtrack? There's probably a perfect song somewhere in there.
The ship should be one of the first objects shown, to let everybody know right off that this is an open sea journey. Then there should be one line that's in almost all of the trailers/teasers, similar to the one in PC, "Everything you know is about to change forever", except something much better than that! If they show alot of scenes, then possibly mixing action ones with the more emotional and important (Aslan showing himself) I think that would work well.

Mark Johnson said VDT is more like LWW (also, Barnes' comment that VDT is more about magic etc.). So the tag-lines should emphasize "rediscovery." That sounds corny but I think that should be one of the themes they use in marketing...basically, let the world know VDT is similar to LWW, not PC.

Toward the end of the trailer they could progress as follows:

This Christmas...(random scenes)

Board the ship...(Dawn Treader scenes)

...and rediscover the magic... (Sweeping shots of the Dawn Treader on the Silver Sea, and the "wall of water", maybe scenes from the islands)

of Narnia. (Composite shots from film; serpent attack; end with Aslan roaring...does he roar in VDT? )

I think it is important that they follow the LWW teaser. Re-introduce some of the characters, by all means show the painting coming to life and the transition to Narnia, and go from there. And let the music build, just like the LWW teaser. Start slow and quiet, then move uptempo, and conclude with something epic.

I think they should create a shot of the Lady of the Green Kirtle just to include in the trailer. ... Just to make us go CRAZY.

Are you trying to jinx it again glumpuddle? Remeber what happens when you say stuff like that...

I personally think that the unfathomable fate is global warming, and the voyage to the end of the world is to somehow repair the ozone layer...

The tagline could be something about Narnia going green. It'll be great since Caspian is already using a recycled sword...

*zing!*

Nice one!

I think the trailer should focus on the exciting adventure side of it; giving a good dose of the fantasy aspect so people understand that this is just not Pirates Rebooted.

Something I was thinking about the other day:

Tagline:

This Christmas...

Where sky and water meet...

You shall find all you seek...

There in the utter east...
(This would have to be followed by some shot of the water against an amazing sunset or perhaps Reepicheep paddling away in his coracle)

Perhaps a bit corny but it certainly would be different and not at all cliche.

Actually, that sound like a cool idea. I could see that working.

I think it is a good idea! I sounds like a very exciteing trailer!
GOOD WORK!

Except that the sun sets in the west.

good point; perhaps it's the sunrise then.
