Trying to get better at my cinematography let me know what I could improve on!

I don't shot alot in 60fps so it took me a couple replays to get it. But I think a big part of the issue is your methods of exposure control. It seems like you used both aperture, shutter speed and gain to control the exposure.

Changing the shutter speed to limit the amount of light hitting the sensor works in photography. In video, it ruins the motion blur. Your shutter speed should always be double* your fps. So if you're shooting at 60fps, your shutter speed should be 1/120 of a second. for the optimal motion blur. This is whats known as the 180 degree rule. Heres a link with video reference.

Ideally, you use ND filters to limit the light. While locking the shutter at the double your fps(unless you're making an artistic point). Your gain(iso) should be as low as it can be(to limit image noise). And you set your aperture to artistically control the Depth of Field(DoF). Which brings me to my next critique.

Everything is very flat. There is no Depth of Field(DoF). In cinematography DoF is very useful. It directs the audiences attention to whats important in the scene. It tells them what to look at. It also provides an additional level of information. It give the audience context for how far apart things are. In your first scene with the driver, you could of used it to divide it into three separate areas. The steering wheel, the driver, and the mountains. Foreground, midground, and background. This would help pull the eyes to the subject. The midground.

As far as post production/editing. Some title/Action safe issues with the text. The beat drivin time ramping is neat, but inconsistent. and if you're going to do still photos, match the aspect ratio's and have them do a thing. 2.5d, subtly move, anything but a static image. And dat font...hit me up, ill send you some links.
