I want to be supportive because I'm a no-budget filmmaker myself, but that is really not a very good trailer for several reasons.
1- We can't tell anything about the plot.
2- The girls screams are annoying.
3- The video quality is terrible. If that's in any cinemas on July 21st, I'll.... Well, it won't be.
4- You can't use a Friends clip unless you purchased it, which I'm sure you didn't because if you could have afforded that then you could have afforded better equipment and professional actors.
Now, the good news is that most of the problems mentioned above are easily corrected. Lose the Friends clip completely. Add some background music for atmosphere (but nothing copywritten). Don't have the voiceover whispering and then the girl screaming, try to keep the audio more level than that. Unless you really did shoot it on a cell phone, I'm sure you can get a better picture than that from your footage so I'd recommend re-uploading everything at a higher resolution and then re-editing the trailer to give us a sense of the plot. Use better title fonts.
If this is your first film, don't let the feedback you're getting here discourage you. Just recognize the fact that your first film won't be very good and approach it as a learning experience. (Don't worry, no one's first film is very good.) Your second will be 10 times better because of what you learn going through the process of writing, directing, shooting, editing, etc...
