Critique my edit

[belden...]

So this is my first time really filming as I got a camera (as you guessed gopro!) for christmas and got to use it for the first time yesterday. Now I edited this morning with iMovie because I couldn't find Premiere Pro online for free and don't really know the ins and outs of final cut pro. Other than the far away filming what can I improve on?

I mean that was an alright edit. I'd suggest getting better stabilization, getting tighter shots too. And also I mean if you serious about filming, I would consider a better camera. Good job though man, looked alright

Make it full screen (no black bars), but more importantly, GET CLOSER TO THEACTION!

Get closer in, and get some type of stabilization. Maybe invest in a nicer camera too.
