Judge 1

Positives: good variety of music to support individual scenes. good variety of locations used to shoot trailer

Improvements: plot could have been fleshed out a little more. the text clips could be taken better advantage of to tell more of your plot

Judge 2

Positives: Very nice sequence of shots that transmit feelings of uncertainty and hope. Great sound integration that adds to the ambiance of the piece and creates tension.

Improvements: Editing could be improved ,,, so that there are no fades to black... Currently some of the cuts are faded to black. It seems to be an easy fix for a dramatic transition..,,,It could work in some instances, but when overused, it becomes too apparent and sticks out as a sore thumb...

Judge 3

Positives: A good trailer. Good mix of flashbacks bringing a sense of the friendship to life. Acting was natural.

Improvements: Not clear if at 0:49 the character is waking up from a dream or if she suddenly realizes she needs to "find" her friend who passed away. Other than that, the plot is plausible and I'd be interested in the movie.
