    You’ve done a very nice job, but here’s a few opinions:

    The music sounds Current Affairs, but the font looks Cartoon Network. Choose one much more conservative typeface.

    The music is full of big stabs and accents, but you’ve only used one or two of them. When the music goes bang, so should the visuals.

    In the big white box at the beginning, you reveal main vision with the smaller squares of headshots, but there is a vision cut during that reveal which looks clunky. Stick with one shot until the reveal is complete.

    The masking and moves of the blue photo boxes is clumsy and inconsistent. You need to smooth out the moves and the mask changes – probably more linear moves.

    The occasional white lines in those photo boxes seem inconsistent. Either all framed by lines or no lines, if you ask me.

    To that I would add that the swirly lines you have going on (3D stroke with Trapcode shine?) seem quite jerky – maybe the keyframes need smoothing. It starts quite strong, but then to have the text just move up into the frame is a bit of an afterthought. I agree about the font – it is frankly hideous, I’m sorry mate!!

    Still, some nice stuff there.
