I thought the trailer itself was actually very good and ended with the perfect cliffhanger, making me want to watch more to find out what happens. The use of effect worked very effectively using the three boxes in one shot, too get what all characters were doing. You used a variety of camera shots in the right ways, also the music suited the thriller genre very well, keeping the audience aware....

I thought that this was a very effective opening for a film in the thriller genre, it uses music very effectively to make the film mysterious and tense, the one drawback of the music was that the transition between different pieces wasn't very smooth.

The editing in the film was very good as it showed three things happening at once, this helped to show that the same things were happening to the characters at the same time, this helped to add mystery to the film and made sure it didn't drag on to long.

The trailer was very good as it sucked you into the story and it ended with a cliffhanger, this was successful in making me want to know what was going to happen next and throughout the film.

After seeing your opening several times, the genre finally came to me. I like the use of editing, such as split screens, and several effective match on action shots. The wide range of effects really brings the thriller genre through, and the opening was succesful as it has interested me, and has left me wanting to know what happens later on in the film.

Acting levels wer very good, and the range of different shots and angles was also impressive.

I think this is very good yet confusing, but causing this confusion was effective in your opening.

The use of the wire frame was excellent and the varying angles and shots used were outstanding. I thought you framed your scenes well and not allowed unessary headroom.

The Unknown productions bit was genious and worked incredibly well with your opening.
