The overuse of repetition at the beginning is excessive and doesn't allow for a successful message. Allow the character and story to develop before you hit them with the powerful visuals and the ultimate meaning, and showing this to early makes the rest of the film redundant. Maybe it would be better if she just gets up, does a lot of wrong things, has bf break up with her and then goes into reset mode in her dreams until she wakes up at the end, and then the viewer is left with the clearer idea the whole thing was a dream. For example that shot of her where she opens her eyes and looks directly into the camera should only be at the end to signify her waking up.

I've seen this concept before. Not exactly same but similar. The presentation of the others were more meaningful. But it's hard to present a story within just 5 minutes. I gave credit for that.

Would be? What would make him you?

Anyways, it was good except for a few things. As pointed out the early resets don't make a lot if sense but that is perfectly OK for an amateur project while you are learning. The major thing I personally didn't like was the dialogue. I think not giving any sound to the characters could have made the film stronger.

Having the first noises from a character be a tantrum and then the only dialogue be "your beautiful" "i love you(etc)" " im breaking up with you" is not only cheesy but also destroys the feeling/tone the rest of the sound is working on through out the entire film.

Non-verbal story telling such as him dropping the flowers and leaving might have worked better for me.

I have to agree. the dialogue made it worse for me.

Horrible ( on a professional movie scale because that's what everyone is comparing it to ) but she is really attractive
