Everyone loves the music sample created by Sam.
Steve will inform Sam Greene to hold off on the working on music until we get the opening teaser written out so we can give him better directions.
------------------------
Opening Teaser will be:
• Told in a narrator voice with some pirate language here and there for emphasis. Omnipotent narrator.
• Will use general terms not specific “you or we”. Tells the story to you but addresses to all i.e. Who could help us.
• Brownbeard viewed as someone that just emerged out of nowhere, mysterious, legendary.
• No need to mention specifically Capt Peg in intro.

Need to decide what the narrator relationship is to the crew.

For the question if there was a pirates code or just a story for the Pirates of the Carribean. Yes, there existed a pirates' code.
