Question, is it a parody or something? To be honest, I can't take it seriously, probably because of the actors.

Cool new camera shots are a nice goal. But I don't watch
movies to see cool new camera shots.

Right now I can see how this is excellent experience, a
lot of fun to do and I'm sure loved by your friends. At
some point you are going to need to move on to really
concentrating on what most people are interested in.
And that's a good story and interesting characters. And
that is MUCH harder than coming up with some cool
new camera angles.

What I think you can do to make it better is just keep at it.
And challenge yourself. Can you write a good story? Can
you create characters that are interesting to other people?

What you have here is an opportunity that most of us don't
have. You have the perspective of a young person while
you are young. You aren't looking back, you are in the
moment now. Take it beyond a fight. There has to be more
going on with these guys than just wanting to fight each
other.

liked it, keep working, and remember to take your time.
shoot a scene many times, to get what you like, no rush.

keep doing what your doing

Very cool. I think from a cinematographic sense that you are getting better. Lots of variety in your shots and they didn't loose my interest.

Certified brings a good point to now expand on the other areas of your movies. Bring types of characters to the screen and tell a good story. I do like it, much better than your previous films 🙂

In other words, time to start reading a bit about writing good script. You can google it to begin with, as there is a lot of stuff out there that's freely available with some googling skills. http://www.screenwriting.info/ is a good start.

Once you're done with that, get everyone who appears on-camera (i.e. your actors) to read through the acting lessons here: http://www.redbirdstudio.com/AWOL/acting2.html

A lot of directing tips and advice can be found here: http://www.actioncutprint.com/.

So, before you even begin to spend money on books, you can learn massive amounts of valuable things online.

Once again, the "bad English" gimmick still isn't working. This clearly isn't "Inglorious Basterds"; it's just poorly spelt "Saturday".
