Overall it looks very good except for one thing...
Those film burn transitions. The only time that happened was at the end of a spool of film, as long as you didn't open up the magazine in direct sunlight and stayed in somewhat subdued light the light only penetrated a few layers of film. The very end would process totally clear and the layer or two under that would only be partially light struck going from light orange to deeper. If the film ran out while shooting a scene, we knew to reshoot that scene after doing a film change.
Many of us learned to carry a light tight changing bag and would put the magazine in there along with some masking tape, the light tight black wrapper to go around the film spool and the film can to put it all in. Open the changing bag and tape the film can.
Then the film can with the new roll would go in the bag, bag would be zipped closed, hands inserted into the elastic cuffs, film can opened and new spool put on spindle and film threaded through the gate. Insert the end of the film into the takeup spool and close the magazine.
Only the rank amatuer, the totally inept or the fool got that film burn and allowed it to be edited into the projected reel. The only other way it happened was if some idiot opened the magazine (or the camera) in midroll. So when I see this used as a transition I have to tell myself the filmmaker was never told how those came about. It was an embarrassment to let it hit the screen.

It reminds me of that period in the late 90's when people started using Photoshop.
Every single image someone produced for flyers etc would have a lens flare. People couldn't help themselves.
The craze in DLSR filmmaking the last couple of years has been the same - every single video put up on Vimeo seems to contain someone shooting directly into the sun to get a lens flare, the tell-tale shallow focus, and either fake grain or film burns.
As soon as I see a lens flare, I turn off.
I've done them myself when I first got the camera, so I'm as guilty as everyone. But that phase lasted all of 2 days.
