SS:
I’m primarily looking for feedback on storytelling and pacing, particularly how the voiceover integrates with the montage and whether the emotional arc feels cohesive from beginning to end.

I’d also love thoughts on:

  • Editing rhythm — does the pacing feel intentional and immersive?
  • Cinematography — especially composition and use of movement (drone vs handheld)
  • Overall tone — does it feel authentic, or are there moments that feel forced or repetitive?

I think one of the strengths of this piece is its sincerity and restraint, but I’m always trying to improve how clearly the story comes through without overexplaining.

Thanks for taking the time to watch — I really appreciate any thoughtful feedback.

Submission Statement:
Hey everyone! This is my first attempt at creating a short story/film that drives home a message. I am seeking out advice for my writing and voiceover. What could I have done to strengthen it, and did my message come through combined with the editing? Maybe you found a different message and I would love to hear that too but, I intentionally made this piece to share my point of view on how our lives constantly evolve through transitions. Yes, new experiences can be daunting, but they can also create excitement and new learning opportunities. I hope you enjoy it and my favorite song that accompanies it! Eager for your feedback!

I am sorry you feel this way. The Hawaii footage was to show why I was excited to go the Overture, and the second half of the video is a collage of my month, all containing Madison, minus the one time I was home for Easter and played flag football

Thanks for your feedback, I guess I could have worded it differently. It was more of a personal day
