Keep shooting man, some good work!

A few pointers though, both technical and aesthetically. Some things may be obvious, and could be cause you shot this quickly or overlooked.
-That little screen on the t2i may be difficult to focus with.
         2 Tips: If you use a zoom lens and what the shot to be rather wide. Ex: 18-55 kit lens, and want to shoot at 18mm; Zoom to 55mm and focus on your subject, then zoom out. I cant think of the exact term but I call this "Super Focusing".
         On the backside of the camera there is a digital zoom function at the top right hand corner. Use this also to zoom in and focus.
- ALWAYS white balance whenever you change location or lighting.
-Make sure your shutter speed is an even fraction of your framerate. Framerate is 24, Shoot at 50. 30/60. 60/120. A couple of your pans had the "jello effect" or Rolling Shutter Effect. Example:
Canon 7D Jello Movement Testing Rolling Shutter

-Some scenes are a little over-exposed
-Music doesnt need to play throughout the entire movie. Sometimes the lack of music creates the mood/tension much better than any score can. Check out No Country for Old Men, great movie and very little actual music.

I dont mean to be nitpicky, just want yall to be better film makers. Let me know if you want some more critiques.
Great movie guys, really enjoyed it and look forward to your next project. I'll be subscribing  :)
