TIF: The genre of your teaser trailer is a little unclear, is it hybrid? The narrative also is very complex for a teaser, just a hint is needed but you tell a lot of the story. What could you remove to engage your audience without telling them so much of your narrative?
I agree that the genre feels a bit unclear and it is a hybrid of different genres- mystery, thriller and horror with teen drama. I think the teaser could be made shorter by cutting a lot of the 'talking' scenes out as I feel like they add too much information and they're not really necessary for the teaser. |
