First off, I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, since technically it wasn't shot on a hdslr, and it's not really a "film", but it is my first project in HD, and would like some feedback on how I could improve.

This is a video project I'm doing for work, and would like to get feedback on how I could enhance it, or make it look more professional.
Here are a few things I would like to change/improve off the bat:
*COLOR! I've never color corrected a project before. I would really like to give the clips a more industrial "feel" to them, but have no idea where to start. Any tips for getting a more industrial look? Do I just apply color effects on all the clips or is there a better way of doing this (using CS4)?
*The first shot: I was trying to go for a more dramatic focus pull, but this one is so subtle it almost has no effect, don't you think?. I'm going to try and find another clip to replace it.
*Are too many of my shots too tight? I'd like to use more wide shots, but it's hard to feel like it won't look too "home video" -ish.
*Variety of shots. My budget limited me to a tripod. Only a handful of handheld shots. Would love to incorporate more cinematic shots like dolly/crane style shots, but no money. Any other creative shots I can do with a tripod that I could have done here?
*The titles near the end: Are they placed too far in the lower left? Are they too fast? I'm worried the viewer might not catch the words.
*Message: Those of you who may not be familiar with this industry, were you able to get an idea of what it is we do, or were you still a bit unsure about what was happening in the video?
*Style? What exactly would you call this type of project? It's not a documentary, music video, or film. I would think it'd be considered more a corporate or ENG type of video. Am I right on this?
