At 1st I thought that I had mixed feelings about this video, but after a few replays I saw that they're not quite mixed feelings, but the video has a mix of well and somewhat badly executed moments.
The 2 most obvious problems are the poor quality footage, and the annoying lip flaps that serve no real purpose. The rest are small moments that break the flow and sync pattern, like the switch at 0:20 from when she's crying on the bed to her lying unconscious in the bathroom. Regardless of how there was no real sound shift to allow such a sudden switch, the 2 clips are too diverse for a crossfade to work. Also, the vid got a low better at 0:55, but the momentum wasn't maintained, as the lips just started flapping again :/ But the upbeat part was great, and it's what made the video re-watchable.

Thank you for your criticism once again Gab :). While editing, I realized these annoying lip flaps too, but I had problems to find scenes that don't have these in and still fit the lyrics :/. In a lot of the comments on my videos, you guys tell me that some scenes don't fit together, are too diverse or destroy the flow.....I would really love to improve this, but I don't know how @.@. When I rewatch the sectors you tell me, I don't see the mistake. Once, someone of you told me, the flow of one video is good, but I didn't understand how I did it xD^^'. I fear that I'm too stupid for it ._.

AAAAAAH! I WANT TO LEARN IT SOMEHOW ANYWAY, DAMN IT >.<
