If anything, I'd look into adding a brief description and citing where you got your music. Aside from that, not much I can think of feedback-wise. Was this student-directed/edited?
The music is called "Inspiring Trailer" and it is by PR_MusicProductions, and we obtained it via AudioJungle/Envato Marketplace.

As for the process for the creation of the video, it was a joint effort between the mentors involved and the students involved. Last summer, a group of students got together to try to come up with a coherent theme to base all of our Chairman's efforts on, and we came up with the concept of using numbers in an artistic way to describe what our team means to much and what we have done, a concept that then was used in the video, the essay and the presentation alike.

The data was then gathered by students that had very detailed experience with the team, and edited by mentors and students alike to try to be as accurate as possible. Once we had agreed about the data list, the first draft was written by a student, myself to be exact. After that the draft was re-edited and re-written about 4-5 times by students and mentors alike, and then it was cast. Then we went into shot planning. We have a mentor on 2485 that has a vast amount of experience in the video-making industry, and she outlined for us the process that creating this video entailed, from shot planning, to filming, to recording and then post-production. We assigned students to every step of the process and she would help us fine-tune things and make sure that we were doing everything correctly as we were going. Filming was all done by the second week of build season, and then post-production and editing was done by about Week 5.

The video would not have been made the way it was without every single person that was involved, from students writing the script to shot planning to filming to mentors and post-production- a direct example of how 2485 strives to have students and mentors working hand in hand to produce something that we are all proud of.
