great first edit! enjoyed watching it.

as you seem to already know, great filming is not just about having super shallow depth of field and everything going in and out of focus. you have to learn how to use DOF as a tool to strengthen your shot, whether it's deep or shallow.

wayyyyy too many focus pulls, if some shots were just simply kept in focus it woulda been so much better

Yeah maybe try picking up a tripod or glidecam or some other stabilization gear. Having follow/panning/dolly shots with smooth movement adds a lot of production value to edits. Plus it's something to resort to other than focus pulls.
