Positives: Love the story! I could watch a whole movie based on this concept. Script was very tight and shows a mastery of structure. The twist at the end was unexpected and buttoned up everything well. Camera work shows an understanding of the horror genre and editing builds tension. I also like your moments of comedy in there as well-- that's hard to do. You should be very happy with how this turned out!
Improvements: My only note for improvement was to see a more dramatic shift in demeanor from our influencer videos to real life. Stakes couldn't be higher since it is life and death and we want to see the cracks in the perfect social media facade. Also, watch your gain on sound if you want to get rid of some of the hissing. Otherwise, this was very well done!

Positives: The setup with Youtube is good, and you have nice post production for this film. I like the wide variety of shots that you use during this film. It brings the viewer into the film. The idea is really good, and you do a strong job of capturing the ideas of 7 day challenge,
Improvements: The tarot card scene could have more candles to add to the lighting. It is a little bit dark. The car crash sense has some quick edits, which do not support it as much, you can slow that portion down a little bit to make it even more impactful. The music and the audio battle each other in the last scene with the watch. This makes it hard to hear what is being said.

Positives: The narrative was creative and unique. The use of music was a strong supporter of the overall piece. The use of camera angles and a variety of shots was strong throughout. A great shot was the top-down of the tarot cards on the floor.
Improvements: The lighting could have used improvement since it was over-exposed the majority of the video. The use of transitions throughout the piece could have been improved to better flow with the story.
