How did you feel while watching this video? Let’s have a look at the ‘Pay it forward’ trailer now:

If you try to compare the emotional impact that the first video had on you compared to the movie trailer, how was it? Did it create a more emotional response on you? A lesser one? Where they equally powerful?

I would appreciate if you let me know in the comments section; it will help decide on what kind of posts you like more and I should focus on the future.

Thanks
