My only criticism is this idea which is seems to be growing in popularity of making a trailer for a film which will never exist (and this is too long/gives away too much for a trailer). I blame media studies/media production courses for this as they seem to demand it. Why can't they say make a short film? I see no reason why you shouldn't have made a complete short film using the ideas and skills you have developed and used to make this. In this day and age, with the audience quite used to edits with fast custs and frequent jumps in time and location, there is no reason at all why you shouldn't tell the whole story in exactly the same way as you have made this "trailer". As I hope you can tell, I'm not having apop at you, just the trend. (And why not? I had a pop at the overuse of focus pulling and very narrow depth of field and that seems to have subsided a little since)
