Pacing is steady, video transitions work, though the audio jumps too suddenly from one track to another.
Extra: This metric does not affect grading, it is an overall suggestion for future works - make sure that the dialogue can be clearly distinguished from the background music, in this case the music covered the spoken dialogue.
Theme is on point, no other comments.
Backlog is definite and clear, though we would suggest copyrighting your own script (Personal suggestion of ours is ARR), along with being more careful around fair use; the songs used in your short film are "ARR - All Rights Reserved", as such unless explicitly stated by the withholders of copyright, you cannot use soundtracks for productions destined for public release (In this case a contest submission).
This is the contest winner, as such you will be contacted shortly to receive your prize!
