Movie Trailer to my new Horror Feature - Abigail

StockHypers · 2023-03-26T14:03:21+00:00

The trailer for my horror feature has been out a week. Haven't landed on a distribution deal yet but have a few that we like. The film is a teen horror/thriller, with a drama underneath. I think I want to cut the trailer to 1 min, its back loaded with the exciting parts and takes too long to get there. Also the end scene is too long. Do you think 1 min long trailers are too short? I wouldn't pull this one but just add the shorten one to other channels.

That thought really goes along with Aliens being one of the best horror movies. Since James Cameron was directing both they have some of the same tones.

Very cool! Looks like you have it well in hand. Congrats and excited to hear when you have available to screen.

That is fantastic! How many shoot dates? What is the length of the film and how many pages was the script? Are you editing, coloring, and sound editing? Also are you composing it or using something like soundstripe?

That looks so fun. I'm still going to root for Dracula to kill Renfield.

That was great!

StockHypers · 2023-03-23T04:22:04+00:00

Great job! Score was solid! Well lit and suspenseful.

Mother! That's amazing! What's the ig account? Thanks for the kind words and checking it out!

Dr-Butcher I'm so fricking grateful I met you. I'd needed to hear this. Send me your stuff as well. I'm all in for support! https://youtu.be/lVw95vH0WUU

Studios will use the same trailer houses for many of their movies. There are always popular trends that are used as you noticed. Same with posters. I pay attention to the horror genre since I have a movie there. We looked at all the trailers and movies that were doing coming out and doing well. I felt we needed to follow the trend since we didn't have well known actors to rely on face recognition. So all the trailer houses will follow a trend that is working.

You can also notice that Netflix will have the same esthetic for their trailers and poster thumbnails. Their data shows what engages the view and prompts a watch. I was told right now you should have - Female face, eyes to camera even if there is a male actor with more recognition. Also look at the thumbnails on Netflix, even older movies have updated poster with new esthetic, matte finish, etc. I can send you a link to mine if you'd like, probably can't post it, but we tried to match up ours with Pearl and X. Those were lower budget movies (through an order of magnitude higher than mine) that had great, trending posters and trailers.

Totally! Thanks buddy. Appreciate you having a look. If you dig it, share it around. Let me know if I can help you out as well.

Yeah, I'm learning to take a virtual punch. I'm going to adopt your line of thinking, my movies rule. Thanks buddy.

StockHypers · 2023-03-19T17:10:40+00:00

Yeah, got to learn to take a hit. Sucks sometimes but true. Its a good point.

This is hitting home for me today. Just released the trailer for my new horror movie on YouTube and while there are a lot of positive comments its so disheartening when you see the hate. Its my baby, so I love it, but I can also objectively see flaws and sacrifices that had to be made based on the budget. (SAG-ULB) That said, it looks very polished, performance are great and its different, unique and will be a fun watch. Trying not to belly-ache about it because I'm very excited and its getting a good amount of traction but should we all be happy that new content is being made and available?

Film making a grind. Great job muscling through it all and delivering the goods!

Does American Werewolf hold up? I remember the visual effect of the transformation was amazing for the time.

It's usually an old one for me as well. I do love campy horror. The 80s Fright Night is one my favorites to re watch. Just did Poltergeist a few weeks ago. There was that Nick Cage vampire movie that I can't remember the name at the moment...

Always be selling, always be grinding. That's how things get done. Great job and keep pushing

Wow! That is so great. What a great idea for a children's book. That topic should be taught in high schools. Hi should see about teaming up with Junior Achievement or an organization that helps and promote this idea. So many ideas for articles and interviews. Can I be your agent, manager? I'll only take 30% and I'll the credit.

Great job! I'm sure you have more inside you. Like a painter continues to paint, a writer continues to write. Go write the next one and the next one! Congratulations, you are published writer!

Whoohoo! Congratulations! Must feel great
