Positives: Great job! The opening was a creative idea with the opening credits! I really liked the outside shot with the blue moon light as well as the tracking shot of the family watching the bad VHS movie.

Improvements: I only have really nit-picky comments because overall this was really well put together. The lighting was really good on the actors however the scene at the dinner table was a little too low-key light in my opinion and the room itself could have been a tad bit brighter or have some more practicals/accent lights in the background. The outside blue light was a little bit too strong of a color blue to imitate moon lighting I would've dialed it back a little by instead of using blue gel, maybe some daylight CTB gel or add another light with some white light to help blend it a bit.

Positives: Concept was clever and I enjoyed the humor especially the ode to all of the streaming services available today and how families need to make decisions on how to spend their money. Technically really well done especially enjoyed the tracking shot on the couch as they were watching Dad's videotape.

Improvements: I think this would have been more believeable if the parents were actually older adults in this piece. The fact that everyone was teenagers made it hard for me to see the generational distinctions you were trying to show.
