I have put a lot of effort into my film and I hope it is received well. I think it represents the time period well and I think it appeals to the target audience.  https://youtu.be/O9QorDzn4x4

And she said that my title sequence mimicked the time period very well. She liked the pacing and how I made an effective use of the 2 minutes I had.      I myself did notice some slight a...
