Hello,
I see you had quite a lot of praise be it here or on youtube so I assume you must be a bit disappointed from your results and I am sorry for that. But I'll try to explain what happened.
First of all, you have to know we as judges kind of enjoyed your video, it's not like those that we watch and never remember anything good about.
You had a good understanding on how to cut your scene selection, the part at 1:33 is pretty solid and epic and the slow part around 1:55 also shows that. However, at the same time it's a bit lacking, like you had the first idea for each part and then you rely on it until you can't and your scene selection drops in quality be it because of camera management or pace inconsistency throughout. When we get to the final chorus, there's a clear lack of surprise effect and the editing is not perfect enough to keep us hooked.
In terms of visual, you left everything quite simple which is not bad but you also have some distracting issues. First the quick fades, some of them works well, others are just loading the screen too much. One of the fade/overlay is especially bothering around 1:12.
While most of your cuts work, it would have been beneficial to have some light transitioning for colors, some cuts are just changing the whole mood too much. And one additional detail but quite glaring at 1:48 the zoom out is very fast and small for such a change of pace, it feels odd.
Overall a video with redeeming qualities that can let you enjoy the video as it is but a lack of consistency and renewability, as well as some video-killers issue made it harder to rank high among video with similar level. Still a good job though so keep it up!
