We all have to start somewhere and learn things in the process.
Just a few genuine pointers to watch for.
Lighting is key - know what lighting source you have in the wide shots then plan you lighting around that for the close and mid shots.
I say plan because where the lighting is and what type would help a lot to make the lighting believable to a viewer.
Sound - sound is super important as it is what drags us into the film and keeps us there believing the story.
Casting - use star now or Facebook if you like but you must audition everyone and don't take people on due to fame if they don't fit the part.
Story - try not to spoon feed the audience. Allow them some imagination. Obviously this example wasn't in the film but... someone drinking a beer then telling his friend I'm drinking a beer is an example of spoon feeding.
You made a feature film!
Well done. Really!
There were some issues.
The story was rather obscure but maybe that was what you wanted to get.
Please take this constructively.
I hope legacy will be good too.

There were some issues.
- lighting in the club was bad.
- some dialogue bad.
- sound was bad.
