Thanks for the advice and thanks for checking it out! I appreciate it! Yeah, when I played this for my brother, he wanted me to redo the speaking parts, but I thought it was cool that you could barely hear it...it would make the person watching the video wonder what was going on. But overall the short is kind of a headscratcher. So I guess he and you were right! :D
Yes. Remember that keeping the audiences attention is paramount.
As a director you have to make every second of footage count in holding that (often short and unforgiving) attention span. And sometimes that can mean you as a director have to compromise and abandon certain artistic styles.
In this case... Purposely having the audio garbled and muffled may have had artistic and creative merit in your eyes. However it has little practical merit and serves only to alienate the viewer.
Hey.. really hard to hear the audio spoken by the character.... The music and the sound picked up by the camera just drowns it out completely..
I would suggest for this level of production.... After you have filmed the footage you need. Go into a quite/ silent room with no background noise at all, and record yourself speaking the dialogue.... Then when it comes to editing, take only the AUDIO clips from that, and put it over the recorded footage. It will be a lot clearer.

This is the short film that doesn't have a ghost, a slasher, or even Death Himself!
It has to do with life outside this universe, U.F.O.'s, and all of that cool stuff.
Please refrain from throwing your peanut butter and jelly sandwich at the screen in disgust if you don't like it...
