Rawky, I'm dead impressed.  

 

BUT...haha there's always a but, I agree with El about the heart beat, it was a brilliant touch but it did need to get louder.

 

Also, it was a little bit TOO Blair Witch.  I have all confidence in you that you can make it more original.

 

Finally,  the pic of you with the axe..... ... you look really menacing.  From what I remember from facebook pics, you were a nice looking guy. That pic is fantastically not you.

Hello Rawky mate. It's great to see you got your project underway, I'm well impressed. I just watched the trailer twice and here are my observations. Generally I thought it was good. I agree the heartbeats should be phased in slowly. I thought they were too loud for the dialogue at the beginning, a bit too intrusive. 

 

I didn't like the sliding text narrative it looked a bit tacky. White text on black looks good but I would have the text static and fade it in and out. I also thought it was a bit disjointed. I would have most of if not all the text at the beginning because it's kind of distracting coming in and out during the trailer.

 

The actors: I liked them all except the one in the jacket. I think it's Tom? He's asked to introduce himself at the beginning of the trailer. He is over-acting bigtime. I'd ask him to tone it down a bit the scenes with him are really jarring. The girls are great, particularly the one that plays Jessica. I would give her a lot of screen time if it was my choice. She's very natural.

 

I really liked the flashing imagery at the end it's very effective and it's a great way to end the trailer. I like the movie name lingering at the end too. Oh, and it's a good name for a film too, definitely keep that title. It's a great start for you, it's hard to believe this is your first attempt at a trailer. With a bit of work it could be very good indeed.

 

Well done Rawky it's an excellent start. All the very best of luck with it, I'll be popping in to keep an eye on your progress

Rocky poo, its very good.

 

My critisisms would be.. I dont like the sliding text at the beginning, as prom said. I also think there is too much of it, I feel like harry hill should be sitting there reading them out ... going... "and then" .  I think you should let the viewer work out whats going on more, not spelled out quite so much. 

 

I also agree with cinds, its a bit too blair witchy for me. I especially dont like the running with the camera focused on the ground, for me it would have been better just to have a black screen and hear what was going on.

 

I really do like the way the characters at the start fade into a still that is like a negative image.  And i really like the flashing fast images at the end.

 

Also agree that the heart beat is good but would be better louder.

 

OHH and the gold tie definitely needs a part

That's what its meant to look like Yoghurt! Its fake of course. My brother (the hobo with the beard) made it out of rope, kitchen towel and fake blood which is made up of corn syrup and red food colouring.

 

Handy tip for next halloween

Well thank the lord for that.      It looks good though..    I just watched the trailer today... how did I miss that?       Looking good  - pretty much agree with the others re the text - and I liked shouty man...   I've not seen Blair Witch (I don't do horrors... but for you I make an exception)  so I don't know about the similarity there.   I tried to comment and like it but I've somehow ballsed up my you tube account thing so it's not verified.      How's the filming going.. I want to see it all now!
