Hello!

I really like the song that you put with the video, it fits in well, I also like how at certain points the beat goes along with the text.

However, I would consider changing the font, the one you have right now is too unprofessional and it's hard to be taken seriously when you are asking these questions that are meant to invoke some feeling in the viewer. Also, the text should not be covering the faces of the people in pictures, it's obnoxious and easily fixable. Such as at 0:10, the text is right on the chin of the poor guy in the middle. Push it down a bit, so that it's either more in the middle or more near the bottom.

Then, at 0:19, I'm sorry but I absolutely loathe zooming shots. Make it fade into that picture, rather than zooming out of it. Plus, I think that you should put "Family?" right after "Love?" and before the picture so that the picture fades in at the "duhh" sound.

Also, a lot of the pictures are really blurry. Try your best to find better quality pictures and it will help in the long run! 0:52 has a perfect picture quality, try to get the others to be like that.

Finally, possibly try working some video into there? http://clipnabber.com/ this website is good for downloading youtube videos.

Hope this helps! When it comes to editing videos I'm better at showing than telling.

Okay, lets break it down:

Music: I like it. It kind of gives an anxious feel to the video, which is obviously what you want.

Titles: Great. I was intruiged by them. I also love how they were in sync with the music.

Slides: The pictures were O.K. You could have picked better pics, but they were good enough.

4/5
