- 4/30 6:08 pm - Positives - Some great close ups and angles in some of your shots. The soundtrack/mix you used amped up, which is good, it can also heighten the emotions of your audience in the same way. Even adding some quicker shots and as it goes on could increase that and the intensity even more. Improvements Story - Didn't quite understand why there wasn't a person's face on the poster. Or what actually was happening...I changed my mind on every rewatch of it. Even though we want the trailer to tease the story, we still want some clarity of what the story is or what is to be. I want to be amped up and still kind of know what I'm being amped up about.

Positives: Really nice work here! The build is strong, and the opening draws you in effectively. Some of your shots are visually stunning — those moments are really cool and demonstrate great creative instincts. Your music choice works beautifully and sets a compelling tone throughout.
Improvements: As you continue developing this, perhaps focus on adding a tad more plot to give the audience something to hold onto. Right now, we know someone is missing, someone is counting down, and someone is tracking them, but we need a tiny bit more detail to make it feel complete. Subtle shots or even a one line of dialogue could help fill this out and give us a clearer sense of what's happening and what the stakes are. You might even consider adding a jump scare at the end to really land the tension and leave the audience wanting more. This is a great foundation with a lot of potential! This feels more like a teaser vs. a trailer.

Positives: It moves well. Soem of the imagery is very effective. See:16.
Improvements: I hear some audio edit clicks. The sound edit needs more work. Needs reverb and more bass,
