3 min Short W/ICE CREAM!!!

I helped out my friend with one of his school projects. He just had to prove that he made ice cream so we took the ultra dramatic route.

There's a few over/underexposed shots sprinkled in there, but for the most part I think it's ok.

Comments and criticisms are welcome! Anything to get me better.

Well, I watched it: good job!
You've got a lot of good things going, editing was okay, and dialog also.
Technically you know the exposure probs etc.

The thing probably to watch for your next short are the shot selection, i.e. when to use wide, when close-up, etc. It's the films biggest prob I think.
The main character starts talking to someone about the guy in his living room: that shot is TERRIBLY set-up; we have no idea where this takes place and who he's talking to. Whereas that can be effective, it isn't here. And there's more of that going on.
But you'll get better at this, no doubt.
All-in-all a good effort, and you've followed one of the MAIN things that you ABSOLUTELY have to include: and that is a story (beginning, middle, and end) and you have SUCCEEDED there, hence why I think it is a good movie.

Yeah, to be honest with you I noticed that as I was editing. Without at least one wider shot there there's absolutely no way to tell where they are or who he's talking to. Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind.
