Between minute 0:25 and 0:28 you have the camera slowly rising up (kinda shaking), But then the camera goes still at 0:29 yet still in the same place (I understand why though) you probably could have just changed the angle on the camera.
That one was deliberate. It's supposed to be a type of 'jump-cut' (not sure if that particular one would be technically considered a jump-cut, but you get what I mean).

I agree, that probably would have been better, although I don't think we have the equipment to do that successfully.

There's a few different shots in that space of time, if you meant the one where it shows Will walking up to the tree, then I see what you mean; his head is cut off. If you meant the shot of Will's brother walking threw the forest, I see what you mean, but I don't see that it's
that big of an issue, considering the kind of over-head-ish shot that it is.

I did mean compose... But what I meant was some areas in the movie had to much head space and other just needed a little more...
Some examples are...

The rest of the camerawork from there on out is decent though.

Thanks for the comment SilverDragon! A couple questions though,

There wasn't any compositing in the movie. Do you mean composed? Could you give an example of how the shots could have been composed better so that we'll have a better idea of how to do it in the future? Also, yes, this movie was made in 24 hours.

Grading moved around quite a bit, but played it's part well.
The grading changed throughout the movie, which was intentional, for example the shot where you see Robin Darjeeling is desaturated and blue to convey a certain emotion, the movie takes place over the course of many years so it was necessary that the grading and lighting weren't always the same, nice to see you noticed that.
Thanks again for the review SD, we appreciate it!
