Feedback from teacher (Miss Whittaker):

There are some things about the opening that need to be improved, a selective piece of text needs to be removed otherwise the opening sequence may look like a trailer, the amount of time that the text has to appear on the screen, the length of time that the production logo has to appear and the text that appears during the opening should be placed in the corner instead of being in the lower centre of the screen.

We have improved the video by removing the selective text so the opening does not look like a trailer, we have lengthened the amount of time that the text scrolling scene has so the text can be seen clearer, we have also lengthened the amount of time that we see the production logo and finally we have edited the text so it appears in the corner of the screen instead of being in the lower centre of teh screen.
