After writing the opening to our trailer we decided that it was too long and resembled a opening to a film rather than the opening to a trailer. Because of this we will need to make some adjestments to make it more suited to the task time limit. To make this happen we might make the shots more jumpy e.g. cutting parts out of long shots making them appear to jump making it more fast pace. Another thing we discussed was how to make it more comedic, we feel this heavily comes down to the music and cinimatography.
