Things that I learned from the critique session that I would apply to my future projects would be to adjust the audio levels so that everything is equalized in volume and is easy to hear. Another thing I will apply is to make sure my title bars are the correct theme and format. The rule of thirds is also something that I want to keep in mind for the next project.
