Critical Feedback on Rough Draft

When presenting my film and receiving the critical feedback, I was told that my lighting was conflicting with one of my characters and that some of my takes were long and dragged out and needed to be cut. At the beginning of my film there's a shot that shows how time is passing like a time lapse; yet it seems as if it is being dragged and takes too much time. So what I would have to do is edit my film to where it still shows the time lapse but not take up too much time. When being critiqued I was also told that my lighting was conflicting with one of my characters. I filmed in the car and used the backseat car lights to help with the lighting. It didn't much help with showing the character as well as it should have, it left a glare on her face. Therefore, I will re-film some and try and fix the problem with the lighting with one of the film editing programs that I am provided with.
