The main difference of the 2nd cut from the 1st, is the length of shots. In the 2nd cut we have cut most shots down again, to make sure the audience doesn't get bored watching too many longer clips where not much is happening, as this would not make an effective teaser trailer if the audience is not excited by it.
Also, in this cut we have added in the 5 seconds worth of black screen at the start of the trailer, where there will be a voiceover to introduce the audience into the plot of the film.
We have also cut some shots completely, such as the close up of Lauren (playing Savannah) being seen by Emily (playing Eleanor) and the ballet teacher. We cut this shot out as we thought it did not look professional and also didn't give anything extra away to the audience, just emphasised the same point as in the shot before that Lauren was embarrassed that the ballet dancer and teacher had caught her watching them practice.
Another shot we have cut down is of the ballet teacher saying "from the top Eleanor." We decided to cut this down to simply "from the top" as we thought the way 'Eleanor' was said was quite comical as although we wanted the ballet teacher to be well spoken, this was slightly over the top.
We have also shortened each shot of Lauren practicing at home, as we wanted to create more of a montage effect from these clips, so just cut about half a second of each, to give it a faster more flashy feel.
