  • 4/24 6:51 am - Pros: Nice looking nature shots with good color saturation and overall exposure. Music suggested something creepy and sinister. Cons: What is your story? I really have nothing to go on here. What is the conflict, who are the characters, what is the background for the world you're establishing? Story matters over everything else and if you don't have a clear cut story to tell, it's probably better to produce a cinematography reel. Your camera shots were nice, but make them better by using a tripod and carefully measure your rack focus shots so you know when to land the sharply focused moments. As well composed and coloful as your shots were, they seemed out of place for a trailer with a creepy vibe. I would have probably de-saturated the shots to give the forest a more sinister vibe.
  • 4/23 10:18 pm - Pros - The music and the shots do a good job establishing the setting and the mood. Cons - There is no clear story in this trailer; no really enough information for the viewer to decide if they want to engage with the film. The camera is a little shaky at times in the closeup shots and the color and lighting may be a bit bright for the tone of the story. Try establishing the main characters and a conflict for the viewer to invest in.
