Except for the end, but for this fact alone you're a beginner. You've got a sense of storytelling in your 'animation' but overall it just seems like static images ported to a video editor and panned from one direction to another in the most basic way. You've could've had at least one thing moving in every other scene to make things a bit engaging in a way. Can even have some of those scenes where you show a symbol of some sort to anticipate for what's to come. Maybe make a dog eating a dead corpse, or a rabbit running from a predator for dear life for about 2 seconds, to tell the audience the story's about survival; or even crows sitting on a strawman to give the sense of the place being really empty. Also an establishing shot is really important. Right now we don't know where the story takes place exactly. Your best bet is to show a view of the place from really far at the end of the scene before showing the title of the movie. My point is you've gotta make effort and let things move in any way possible—you're an animator and that's your job! Just overwrite the files and it will change automatically in the vegas/aftereffects project file.
But that was "Alone" alone.
The Burning Bush can have the same thing said about it as well given there's just an extreme close shot of a walking animation, and lip syncing. And work on your levels in your video editor, man. Things are brighter than they should be generally. I see your videos in the google+ group. Pretty decent stuff.
