"El Fuego": Final Version Please Watch!

Hey man you seemed to have cleaned this up from the other version and made it a lot tighter... well done. Still a couple focus spots that were a little soft, but overall very nice. My only suggestion now would be if you have the option in the edit to go with wide shots during the buying of the cigarettes and the money and all that, I would go with that. Use the close up only for the lighter part. I feel like it's a classic mistake a lot of new filmmakers make, to pop in inserts of people opening doors, or hands exchanging items, etc. when it's not necessary. All you need to do is watch any film from your DVD shelf of notable quality and you'll see close ups are only used sparingly, and only to bring focus to a specific and important point, in this case, the lighter. So if you save your close up for that, it will give it the most emphasis and tell the audience that this is of importance. But like I said. Very well done for your school thesis and I think you will be well received.
