after two days of filming, I've made this.  Tell me what you think.

Well, if you want some constructive criticism -

There are two guys talking, and we're seeing pictures of the sun through a tree, a building, some guys walking, etc.  I have no idea what this dialog has to do with these pictures.  Also, the dialog is rather hard to make out, "Dude I was...?...couple of days"  I can't understand what he's saying. 

The little drum thing is very well recorded and sounds ominous

yeah... when I watched the final version a couple of times, I realized that someone who didn't know the plot would be a little confused.  Oh well.  All will be clear when I finish it ;).  Unfortunetly, the dialogue wont be clearer, as I don't actually have a shotgun mic for the camera.  I will make a point to try and find a way to make it easier to understand.  Or, if all else fails, I'll add subtitles.

I might suggest ADR.  You can get a USB mic for voice work less than $100.  For example, the Snowball.

what is ADR?

[Jack]

I think it's "additional dialog recording".  Where you dub the dialog afterwards to make it more easily heard.

[The Protagonist]

ADR - Automatic Dialogue Replacement.
