its quite nice...
i'll vote beginner wise, its ok. for a firsty, nice patience and length. sound quality was low though, especially the journal part. your story was interesting but your lack of animation "action" kept it behind. just work on animation and sound and you can seriously amount to epic pirate stories. :) nice work ( i hope im not ruining you grade with this... heh...) also, the art was fin though, but make a few more joints [being complex doesnt ALWAYS mean your dumb... cough]
