Technical: shot on FS700 and 60D.

I've been looking at this damn thing for so long that I don't know how to judge it anymore. I'd really appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance.

I've been rejected from the same internship (which I submitted this reel for) for the second year in a row and I'm feeling pretty bummed. First time I wasn't as upset because I wasn't expecting anything, but this time I'm starting to get worried because I felt I improved in the past year and really had a chance.

I'm worried because I think I might've made a mistake in my school. My school doesn't have a film production program, and everything I've learned has been working on sets in my free time. I'm actually a computer science student. The reason for the weird situation is that I didn't become interested in film until after my first year in school (I was studying economics). By that time I was already in debt and didn't think it would be wise to transfer somewhere else to only study film, so I chose CS as a fallback and convinced myself I could learn by working on film stuff in my free time.

I know people at schools like NYU and USC who are literally studying cinematography day in and day out and I'm kinda jealous of the work they churn out. I only have time for a project a semester, and the ones I work on are usually small passion projects from other students who want to be writers so I'm like this one man band trying to do everything a camera department would. I would love to have access to a bunch of nice toys and crew to help out. Not to mention the network/alumni of those schools.

At this point I'm venting but I feel like I'm falling behind the students who will end up being successful cinematographers. It's hard for me to get a second opinion normally so I was wondering if there's anything I can do to improve and hopefully stand out.
