Storytelling unit - Rough Cut Feedback

Before i began the edit I looked at a couple of trailers from films in the same genre as mine to get some idea and inspiration both music wise and cut wise. The traier I ended up taking the most inspiration from for the edit was the trailer for 'The Danish Girl' by Tom Hooper. I liked how they in the trailer told the story by showing bits and pieces of the scenes fading to black in between and how the music fits to the story.

The feedback I got on my rough cut didn't change the trailer much as I was more or less only told to work on the audio, slow the pace a bit down and to ad some footage at a point where I originally planned to just fade to black and having a V.O.

To fix the audio i used Adobe Audition since the dialogue was too low and therefore drowning in the music. With audition i managed to bring the dialogue up and make it cleaner by getting rid of some background noice. I had some issue with dogs barking since we were filming on a public beach. I got rid of most of it, but not where the dog is barking t the same time as the character is saying his line. I was trying to get the actor to dub the line with the dog, but didn't have enough time to do so as the actor lives in London and was being too busy.

To slow the pace down I added more stock photos in between the scenes to make it look like more time had passed between the scenes. I also color graded the footage in Davinchi Resolve to make it look slightly more cinematic.
I'm quite happy with the resoult as I feel I managed to tell what the story is about without revealing or spoiling too much. It was also nice to test out Davinchi as I haven't been able to test it out properly before now.
