3D titles
The title card of my film is of the title Skinwalker having a red version dripping below, but that was done with key framing the two titles in Premiere Pro
Using 3D graphics could give the title card more depth, and at the same time look more professional

CLIPS TO USE
I'm planning on using pretty much all of my film, but swap the reveal and torture scenes (the final half of the video) to sell the purpose of the film quicker to audiences instead of it being the final reveal
It also doesn't specifically spoil that Diane dies, it still can imply that she will try to fight back instead of instantly dying
The scene that I filmed can be a cold open to the film, to set up the threat of the doppelgangers, since the story is self contained and doesn't really explain the existence of the doppelganger
The lack of reveal about the threat can still sell the premise of the film without stating that Diane is the protagonist
Perhaps names of potential actors could be added at the end of the credits instead, to still sell audiences on who will be in it
