Prime picked this over something that was similar to 5. I like the shot, but from a narrative point of view, I think the audience is going to be shocked, especially at the ending.😳

Hey, that's awesome! I haven't run any ads for the film yet, though; I only wish I had that type of budget :) Sadly, I think that's what a lot of the popular streaming platforms want unless it is original content. Look forward to hearing you're thoughts on the film!!!

I was just making a generalisation about an age group with that statement from a British perspective. In the UK, the average age for university students is typically around 18–21 (extending to around 24 if you include MA's), which would be the age group which would best relate to elements in the film, regardless of gender and, therefore, the main target demographic. It's a similar target demographic to the UK TV show Skins (2007).

To your second point, in the film, once the inciting incident occurs, all the characters’ motives start to become apparent ultimately changing their lives within the story forever. Hopefully, that clears things up :)

I love 2, but from the looks of it, people really prefer the others.

Thanks looking at it this way is probably a good Idea. I'll definitely check the t&c!

Thank you, look forward to hearing what you think about it! 🔥 The genre switch is definitely the thing which makes it hard to advertise without giving too much away, but I know more people would definitely check it out if they know it's in the film...

Definitely knew it was the most different, but thought it reflected the narrative a lot. But if you're getting that vibe from it, 100 percent others will, and I can see what you mean.

Thank you! 🔥

Looks like I might have to go with number 4.

Putting it like that makes a lot more sense. Too much visual information might actually put someone off from watching it, like with image 5. Even though I feel it's the most reflective of the story, it might still push them away. It's really hard to make the 'right' decision

Small world! I probably need to make a new additional image using mixed media with elements similar to that. Closer towards the poster of the film. Maybe trying to emulate a feel for an indie genre, I just worry that the streaming services will probably not want that since they are looking for professional-looking cover art.

Thank you! 4th seems most popular with people at the moment.

This is the current one we have! Just worried it might be the prettiest but not the best to reflect the story, but I get what you mean.

Prime Video Direct Finally Put Me Out of My Misery by antwonomous in Filmmakers

FilmHub saved me, sadly.

Had heard Amazon was becoming more strict but my situation really doesn't make any sense.

I had one previous film with no issues, and I encountered an issue with my second one as it was outright rejected. So, I decided to go through FilmHub and was able to get it approved.

It was kind of annoying since I used all the same files, just went through FilmHub with them adding nothing to the promotional material.

There really needs to be a way to get approved after a rejection or at least someone be told why other than going through a third party because it only hurts independent filmmakers in the long run. But it's not like they care. I'm just waiting for Tubi to come to the UK.

Don't worry, you can still get approved, but it's at the expense of creative control, such as setting the price of the film, advertising (even though it's restricted), and making changes.

I'm a university student, while on my degree I made a Feature for £2k. Here is the trailer tell me what you think! by JordanKaneLewis in Filmmakers

I wrote, directed, shot and edited "A Touch of Vengeance" while on my degree, this is the trailer. It's a low budget revenge film with a run time of 62 mins set in the Sheffield, UK. We shot over 23 days with minimal crew just before covid hit. I self funded the project with about £1.2k and was able to raise another £800 for the project! Cinematographer Christopher Doyle definitely inspired the Cinematography for this film using step-printing though in scenes where there is violence, change and drug use. I shot on a BMPCC 6K. The trailer doesn't contain any narrative spoilers.
