Year 13 feedback and criticisms

Today I received my feedback from the year above class, after they evaluated my work at a private screening during a lesson. The feedback was mostly positive with a few generous marks and a few not so generous marks. I find some details highlighted were completely pointless.
Most commonly I found the feedback reflected that my video had a 'good build up' and that it was 'easy to understand' whats going on and 'a bit predictable' concerning the storyline. How an entire storyline is explained in the first two minutes is beyond me. Also, the fact that an easy to understand opening is a criticism is ridiculous. Would an audience rather an opening where they have no idea what is going on? I fail to see many audiences staying for that feature after two minutes of uncertainty.
With a majority of high marks, I am happy. Praises of 'various camera angles' were met with the welcoming soundtrack feedback and the 'welcome to the stage, bit'.

Final Cut!

I took the feedback I had received and adjusted my film opening accordingly. I've added titles and additional sound effects for a more authentic feel of back stage exploits.
