Message: <blockquote data-quote="Victim" data-source="post: 184148" data-attributes="member: 78">First of all, I'd use a smaller than normal party.  In a single movie, it would be very difficult to develope all the heroes and the villian.  FotR had 3 hours and still couldn't do it, but they have 3 movies so it's not a big deal.  This movie probably won't have the luxury of automatic sequals, so all the development must get done in one movie.  Therefore, probably 2-3 main hero characters and some cool villains, some of whom get decent screen time.The first scenes should introduce the characters and at least one of the villains, preferably more with the others in a less active role.  We see the characters show off whatever skills they happen to have, see how they react and what motivates them.  The villain is either killed or driven off, preferably driven off so he can appear later without getting into ressurection spells.Every magical effect should have a visual effect, and should be appropriate to the theme of the spell ratehr than the exact effect.  It doesn't matter how fast Haste actually makes a person, they should move fast enough to blur and maybe drop things into a slow mo effect when showing a battle from a Hasted person's perspective.  The characters should be powerful.  Otherwise, your cinematic sword fights aren't.  2 first level characters hacking at each other would be almost sad to watch.  Also, a mage duel between first level mages would be amusing - they each cast 2 spells, and stand around puzzled for a moment, then break out the sticks or crossbows and whiff repeatedly.</blockquote>
