Feel free to be brutally honest... I’m trying to learn and improve.
Thanks!

The film was certainly dramatic! I found some repetition, which could have the needed shortening. Also, the jump cuts could have been changed to cross/dissolves. The best part for me was the dramatic high mountain scenes of the last 1/3rd of the film. You certainly bit off a really long hike! Music selection was appropriate for the last third, but at the beginning, something more melodic would have been better. By cutting the repeated shots, you could have shortened it to 3 minutes without losing anything.
Hope this is not too critical for you.

Thanks so much for the honest feedback!
I’m glad the high mountain scenes in the last third made an impact; that was exactly the feeling I wanted to capture.
I totally agree that the beginning could use something more melodic, and trimming the repeated shots would definitely help tighten things up.

I really appreciate your suggestions. They’re super helpful and not too harsh at all.

Thanks again!
