Comparison between the first and second draft of my trailer.

First trailer:

Changes from my first trailer to my second trailer includes a more dramatic score. With crescendos and a more chaotic piano piece as oppose to an ambient synth piece near the middle. I did this because people who saw the trailer said that the music wasn't dramatic enough and that it only got interesting near the end. Because of this feedback, I made the score more intense.

I also took out the scene talking about christmas, as I personally found it to be too cheesy and people were complaining that the trailer was too long for a teaser, so taking out that scene kept the dramatic tone in check and helped short the running time.

I also found the "DO NOT WATCH!" segment to be too cheesy as well and made it seem more like a horror than a thriller, so I took it out and replaced it with a segue that fit the surreal style of the trailer, with the film glitching out with a quick glimpse of the antagonist. This helps keep the character a mystery as he appears in a nightmarish sort of way.

I also changed the font because people complained that the first one just didn't look very good, so I changed it to fit more of a thriller with the metallic colouring and the jagged shape of the font itself.

I also added a filter to the face of red to make his face more distorted and help the glitch scene seem more in character and less out of place as we now have two moments where the picture breaks.
