Good trailer



this is a good trailer because the location choice is reasonable and fairly achievable and similar to ours as we have decided to do it in a park.



Bad trailer :


this is a bad example for our trailer as it cannot be achieved, there is use of technology,  it has to do with space and rockets, its also has explosions this is a trailer we cannot not try to make as it is unachievable so its a bad trailer for our location choice and setting.
