Film has a great working idea. Please make sure not to lose your audience with the jumps. Watch your transitions and consider using a tripod.

CLEAN THE LENS BEFORE YOU SHOOT!

I'm not totally sure the assignment was understood for the SkillsUSA 2023 contest. The concept is a powerful and scary one. Certainly worth exploring and telling a story about. Some of the shots were really interesting, but I wasn't sure how this subject and the way it was presented, brings light to the world.

You have a seed of an idea here. I would have like to have seen you develop it further. Taking the time in the development phase is critically important. Asking and answering a few more questions like: who's our main character and what does he want, what does our character want, how does that change throughout the film, what is the plot point 1 and 2? By really thinking about these questions, you'll find that your story get more and more full. Keep making films.

Many elements in film lacked direction. Good message, but not sure it came across the way it was intended. Sound and lighting were balanced, edits were confusing. Nice attempt.
