These thumbnails are for my review of the new naked gun movie titled "THE NAKED GUN - Are Comedies Back? (Review)" or something of the sort (open to other options). My thumbnails are a mix of what i see some popular movie reviewers do as well as some others.

I would love your feedback pn these thumbnails and title- Which one pops out the most? Should i mix and match some elements/reactions? Also, open to other titles if you think this one sucks.

Thank you in advance!!!

I think the third thumbnail looks best considering its a movie review video, it seems more polished and like professional if that makes sense

truthfully, I dont really watch movie reviews etc so I dont know what the trends in thumbnail of that niche may but the other 3 feel like they have too much empty blue space for no reason and look like theyre drafts rather than full thumbnails

So for the title, first of all, you don't need to include the word "(Review)"
It's pretty redundant and doesn't really add to your title meaningfully
Second, I don't think you necessarily need to include "THE NAKED GUN" either if you're already displaying the movie poster front and centre in the thumbnail
Titles and thumbnails work together, so they should be complimenting each other and work in tandem to draw in a viewer instead of being two separate parts of the packaging that just describe the video

On that note, I think you just need a better concept for a title and thumbnail in general
You're not really presenting your video in a particularly interesting way
You've got a pretty box standard thumbnail and title, and I can definitely say you could find a way to improve the packaging

You need to come up with a concept, or ideally multiple, for a thumbnail that will draw in a viewer by being thought provoking in some way
Your main point for the video seems to be that this movie represents a resurgence in comedies, but you don't sell that enough
You've simply just said "Are comedies back?", but haven't represented this properly in your thumbnail
For example, maybe this movie has a really high review score, so you could show that alongside a title that says "Are Comedies Back?", which actually communicates the idea of this movie representing a resurgence in comedies

Another thing I should mention is that you shouldn't just haphazardly put your face in the thumbnail without it having a clear purpose
Unfortunately, when you're a small creator, your brand isn't strong enough for your face to be effective in thumbnails
If you do include your face, it should have a purpose and add to the thumbnail in some way, because otherwise, it's just taking up space of other elements in the thumbnail
