Not too bad for a first video.

You have a good eye for timing, but I think you need more of it. At some parts of the song you nailed the shifts in the music really well, and in other parts I felt that there was a moment in the footage that wasn't represented well in the music.

Another reason I say you could use more timing is that you have really long scenes that seem to drag on without changing. And on the note of long scenes, your video is really far too long for what it was worth. I found myself getting really bored with the video past the halfway point simply because the lack of cuts and the instrumental song had gotten repetitive and dull. Especially with a movie, you have a limited amount of scenes to work with and you were probably stretching out your good footage to fit the length of the song.

Don't forget though, that shortening the song is an option. Next time I would strongly suggest to cut it down, because for something that's 7 minutes long it had better be a really strong, well edited video if you want it to have any chance of keeping the viewer entertained the entire time.

So with all that said, I think you have a promising eye for timing that could make for some really good editing with a little practice. You hit the strong beats where it really counted and those were my favorite parts of the video.
