What happened in the trailer?

This trailer showed a documentary-style highlights trailer featuring a story of a couple who go out into a forest in search for bigfoot.

Which positive, cleaver or interesting aspects do you think you could include in your own trailer? What generic features are fulfilled well?

 I really liked how this trailer felt like it could actually be a documentary at the beginning, I think that set out a really good harmony between the reason for the trip and the trailer. I also think that the hand held camera technique was effective as it was also in keeping with the plot of the film.

Which aspects of the trailer did you think were unsuccessful, and would put off its target audience? How is it disappointing?

This took far to long to get into any actual horror footage, and using a voice over on the scene setting footage removed any suspense that could have built up. While the story is fully set I feel that the ending would be too predictable, and I think that this would put off the target audience.
