Hello all,
Last year I began production on a film titled 'The Beast'. I am a senior in college and this term has been the busiest so far. There seems to be no time to finish the film, altho I really want to. Here is a 1:30 teaser from the film about a student who after years of ridicule decides not to turn the other cheek. Does this spark any interest? I'd love your feed back,

Thanks.

I am going to be honest. Thi is a terrible teaser trailer. I am probobly a litte harsh because I've seen so many bad trailers put up here but this is how i feel.
After watching this, I don't want to watch your movie. So what you need to ask youself when makeing a trailer is "Would I watch this after seeing this?" Theres no real supence, to much dialogue and overall to much content even though its shor to boot.
What i would do if i were you is shorten up the dialogue, I'd keep the part where the guys see the beast. Change the music. It needs to be more intence, I mean, theres a beast chancing these guys! ****! And finally, i wouldn't show the beast it's giving away to much, and i understand this isn't a high budget film so you don't want the audience to see that the beast is a guy wearing a Werewolf mask. Do some revamping and this can be very good, the best of luck to you.
 
Thankyou

Thankyou

Thank you Short Stop for you comments toward the teaser i put up. I will take heed to your statements.
 
Why does a werewolf need a broken bottle? And frankly I've seen too many films like this where the dialogue is 60% profanity. This is what I call annoying black people syndrome in films. Low budget films seem to be the victim of this mostly. While I have nothing against real dialogue, it was forced, the actor's delivering it weren't believable and since they weren't believable it made them sound silly and trite. I rooted for the wolf. If that was what you were going for you succeeded.

Also how many people say F-you to a werewolf then run? It's a werewolf. And yes you showed too much of the creature. Now if this is some kind of comedy (which I think it may be) then maybe you have something. Will it sale? Yes. Is it good? That's subjective. Keep in mind I'm a huge fan of low-budget B-Movies. Basically I was put off by the trailer, but that could also be a case of me not being your intended audience.
