=Introduction= ""A Far-Off Place" is visually ambitious, but its conception makes little sense, since the story will bore adults and scare children." - //New York Times//

After receiving mixed reviews over the movie "A Far Off Place" Disney has been unsure as to whether or not they want to remake the prequel "A Story Like the Wind" by Laurens Van der Post. The Disney Management Team finally understands why their audiences are hesitant to go see a film remake of one of their favorite books, because the book is always better and the films usually disappoint.

=Task= After much deliberation Disney has decided to hire a new Production Team (Amblin Entertainment will not be rehired). They have asked many new Production companies to create a mock trailer of the proposed film, a //Story Like the Wind//. You and your colleagues are an up-and-coming Production Company and this could be your BIG BREAK, the film that will bring you into the spotlight and land you even bigger and better contracts! You, the Production team, will present the trailer to the Disney Management Team, the President Robert A. Iger, and a group of randomly chosen people (the true audience for the film) who will evaluate each trailer. Your team will show their trailer and then give a short presentation. If Disney likes your trailer and presentation, you could be the team who will be hired to produce the full film!

=Conclusion=

Through your firm understanding of conflict, theme, and character development you have created a trailer (and soon to be film) that all book lovers can be proud of! You have mastered the art of analyzing text and uncovering the deeper meaning set in by the author.
