Positives: This was a really fun story with great social media use to drive the humor. Excellent editing and acting, which starts with the good script. It's clear you took care crafting the scenes and used a wide range of locations in 5 minutes. It was put together very cohesively and you should be proud of the work you did. There was a lot of intricate editing that felt seamless and gave us a detailed world. Well done!
Improvements: Watch your locked off shots and bumping the tripod. Also, keep in mind the 180 degree rule when doing your insert shots/close ups.

Positives: Good job with the post production. I like the editing structure of the video and the pacing of the film. Your story and is strong and the subtle unravel of the story plays out well. Good camera movement in the film. It makes sure to capture the full story, and reactions of the characters of the film. Good job with this production in a short period of time.
Improvements: Watch the level of the music. The first time it plays it comes in fast and a little loud. It would be better if it slowly came into the scene it would not battle the audio from the actor. There are a couple of time where the audio is not level and it comes out of either the right or left side more than both equally.

Positives: The narrative was clear and interesting to the viewer. There was strong usage of picture-in-picture and different aspect ratios to create the feeling of a social media video. The editing had a great pace and helped support the story flow.
Improvements: The audio could have been improved at points and needed to be in stereo by using an effect such as "fill left channel with right". The outside shots were visually flat and could have benefitted from increasing the contrast levels.
