2) There is a crescendo at the end when the man turns to walk away. It might have been more fitting to crescendo when he actually turns to go into the store, deciding not to walk away after all.
Again, really cool piece; especially for just being a practice. You've obviously drawn the right emotions from the film and brought them out in this.
Just out of curiosity, did the original film have a score? It would be interesting to compare this and the original.

I will take note of the velocity issue next time. I admit at some places it sounds a weeee bit too "hitty".
Next, about cueing the scenes with music, I've actually intended to do that but at some places it's just too akward to just suddenly crescendo when the main motion of the piece is moving upwards, and vice versa. I guess I'll have to develop my film scoring skills more.
Yes, the original film does have a score. Try searching for it on Youtube. It uses a piece from Tiersen called "Comptine d'un autre été L'après midi", a very very well-known piece.
