The second draft, I don’t really see it as a draft due to it being only 30seconds. This was only a section of the trailer to insert into the 1st draft trailer. I like the fact the trailer is now establishing a storyline and is becoming a little clearer that its going to be a trailer. I’m making it priority that

we start to include characters into the trailers as the trailer its self needs this to really start getting up and running. Sound effects need to be considered when new footage is taken. I feel

my first 2 drafts have been a foundation block to start building on one all the footage is completed. Overall I'm happy with the footage we have gotten already and I feel comfortable

with developing the trailer through iMovie.
