Trailer Project

So some friends of mine are testing out their filmmaking skills by doing a bunch of trailers that have been suggested by various people on twitter/youtube/facebook and this weekend they filmed the first one. Valley Noir (Cos we're all from the South Wales Valleys)

Please check it out =]

Admittedly, pretty well done. I give them +20 points for not using an obviously fake firearm, giving them a grand total of 35/10 points.

So what are the orbs 15 points for??

That's the base score. Most trailers suck, so I had to give this a 15/10 for the fact that it didn't leave me utterly disappointed. And I used to be a huge Noir nerd, so this is playing to my own tastes.

Well then I'm glad you enjoyed it as a huge noir fan/nerd =]

What did you think of the music? Did it fit??

well done, glad i got to watch this now since i didnt get a chance earlier

Definitely a good trailer for a non-pro, but it could still use some work, like slower transitions and maybe some slow-mo. The music could have been a little softer, too, but it fit well. The main guy also seemed to scratch/touch his head too much.

Yeah, neither of them really like being on camera but I still think it was good.

What did everyone think of the bloodstain on the shirt??

Pretty realistic, although with it being the only colored thing on the screen, fake-looking blood can be made to look very realistic.
