First off, I'm happy to see some trying new things and posting here that are not just Photography or video walkthroughs so I give you props from the start. Also I don't know which class this would be for but I assume some sort of AV class obviously.
Watching the video in the start and not reading the description, the story one would receive in my opinion is a man looking for his lost girlfriend, friend, etc and finally hitting a dead end just getting quick glimpses of her in a vacant facility. Maybe a ghost, maybe just a delusion deriving from a mental state or incident.
Thats just my thoughts and does not reflect my opinion on this entirely.
I'm happy you posted this, keep up the interesting work...

That opinion is great! The films I make are mostly open to viewer interpretation, I just create the story lines to have a basis for the most part. Since I didn't have too much to work with or any film experience prior to this semester, I tried to make due with a simple concept and pretty building.
Also, it was just a class that involves time-based media (an art school prerequisite). "Happiness and sanity are an impossible combination." - Mark Twain

Interesting film! I like the use of the opaque layers to attain the faded out "ghost-like" look.
My two (or five) cents:
•Try to keep audio levels consistent -If there are any weird sound effects or people talking in the background don't use the audio (you don't want to distract the audience)
•Don't use only a tripod in the future, ask if you can get a shoulder rig, or make one out of PVC, I made my own version of one sorta similar to this
•Try not to screw with the set too much (the glass throwing, smashing and such) but I would say try to take advantage of the decay that is already there.
•I'd make a slider rig, or at least give the camera some sort of movement (in any direction.)
•Try to avoid choppy slow motion, to do this shoot in a higher shutter speed, at about 60 frames per second... but before I start shooting off manual settings I'd would like to know what camera this was shot on.
