the two trailers? they are good, but there were too many "fade-to-blacks" in trailer 1. the target demographic for commercial films has a 5-second attention span, hence they usually use some USC film school cleeshay for the transitions (a flash of light, rapid motion blur) to hold the dims' attention between cuts. "fade-to-blacks" will lose the dims, which is cool if you want to please the critics. trailer 2 had a scene with an out-of-focus wall on the lower left, but it looked more like a lo-res 3D tex than out-of-focus, d-o-f effect, so I would change the texture on the wall there to something else.
