I like the series much (in fact Tsumura Tokiko is one of my favorite chars ever), but not only you managed to spoil the main plot in your descrition on the site but you'd done it the way I'd never watch the anime after reading it. Try to spend the time improving your vid instead of writing such mood-breaking descriptions.
As for the vid, I wonder what could become of it if you spent more time editing...

I don't think the song is too weak for action, and I think the editing on the action parts approached what it should be as far as action goes (it was just not always consistent - some good moments in it though).

For me the real problem was that the video was really setting up as a sort of character/romance/action video, but instead ended up as more of an action/character/(romance?) video - I only know this series a little bit, but it seemed like you were setting up to have two connected parts to the video - one about the characters' relationship, the other about their supernatural struggles and such stuff. That's all there, but the action quickly gets random-ish, takes over most of the video and disconnects itself from the character development pretty quickly. A lot of character scenes also border on filler-ish with dramatic-looking faces, and the chemistry needed for it to be a romantic video only pops up in a few scenes. Taken together, the two parts of the video clash and it doesn't leave me with a strong impression or even a mood. Instead the action ends up being a bit of a distraction.

I think your action editing is mostly fine, although I really recommend you vary scenes more and don't get stuck in long stretches of a character fighting the same villain in the same scene.

For a 3-day effort though, this is pretty good for sure. More time and more structure would've helped it.
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…
