Rough Cut Feedback

Rough cut feed back I received and took into account: 

- Slower fade into opening shot 

- Improve sound (increase/decrease sound in certain shots/scenes) 

- Get rid of one of the yellow house images (too many)

- Make the music fade into the first shot 

- Have the shot of Wesley on the swing earlier (over the dialogue of Wesley stating he wants to have fun)

- Cut the Wesley milk box clip in half, and play the last half at the end
