I think shots 1 and 2 (and back to 1) intercut well, but that up to the face shot did not work right. I had no plan, I was just poking around outside with the camera, and though, "Oh yeah, the one man one camera thing.. what can I do here in a few minutes???"... and, that is what you see.
Since I wasn't at the shoot, I of course don't know which ones are shots 1 and 2, so for the sake of this conversation, I'm just gonna pretend there are 5 shots in total.
Shot 1 ends with you kneeling to the ground, reaching for an object with one hand. Shot 2 starts with both hands actively pulling at the object. That's a total jump-cut. Maybe you wanted a jump-cut; I'm just pointing out that the action doesn't match.
For me, shot 2 cuts together quite nicely to shot 3.
Shot 3 to shot 4 doesn't work. At the end of shot 3, you are clearly in motion, raising this object to eye-level. But at the start of shot 4, you are definitely motionless, with your head and eyes oriented in a position that doesn't match the previous shot.
Shot 4 to shot 5 is also a major jump-cut. At the end of shot 4, your head starts to move, but there's no question you're still kneeling. Yet, at the start of shot 5, you're already standing and running.
All that being said, you cut it together well, considering the fact that it was an impromptu, unplanned shoot. Look, I'm criticizing, but I've spent enough time editing these rapid-fire shoots to wanna punch myself in the face for not getting better coverage. My most recent 48HFP has continuity issues galore. There is one major incontinuity that everyone notices, but I, the editor, notice a TON of them, all over the place. Anyway, I take you for the kind of guy to appreciate a detailed nit-picky critique. The average viewer wouldn't notice the inconsistencies I've noted; it's yours and my job to do so for them.
In post I use Magic Bullet Looks. For this one I started with the "Block Buster" preset, disabled the diffusion and vignette, reduced the "strength" of the Lift Gamma Gain and bumped the exposure..
Dude, that's sweet. I've never messed around with AE at all. Your results with it are rather encouraging to me, because I've got some footage that needs some serious polishing. Thanks!
