Don't steal my stuff, thank you
1. Weak story - In bad films, some characters have no goals/objectives. Character motivation needs to be clear. Where as if there is a clear goal in the film, the audience will be more interested.
2. Under cooked scripts - Take more time into making the script instead of straight away filming. 3. Bad sound - Have a microphone or make sure there is no wind or any other background sounds in the way. 4. Poor casting choices - Choose good actors, which suit the character, don't cast a 12 year old girl to be a 40 year old mother. 5. Poor shot composition - Use the space in the shot, have no dead space where there is no point for the camera to be showing that space. Add depth to make it look more professional. 6. White walls - Don't always film in front of white walls because it's a boring background, you want something to be in the background. 7. Poor lighting - Have some light so the audience can see whats going on, if there isn't any light it can be quiet boring and difficult to see whats happening. 8. Unnecessary insert shots - don't have a random change of close up shot 9. Lingering - Don't have shots which are too long and drag out, it's not needed and makes the film more boring 10. Too many pregnant pauses - Don't have many pauses because it can ruin the tension and make the audience bored and conversations longer which don't need to be longer. 11. No blocking (movement) - Have movement because it's more natural to move around, and its more boring to the audience when the characters stand still. 12. Too much chit chat - Don't only have the characters talk in the film, have movement, the audience need to be interested. 13. Action for the sake of action - Don't have too much action, have action where it is needed, not to make the film. 14. Clichés - Have different ways to start a film, finish a film and be original and different in your film, make it fresh and something different. 15. Weak starts - Pay attention to the first few moments of your film, you want to hook the audience in. 16. Generic music - Have music which fits into the film, don't have too over dramatic music if you have a film which is quiet simple.
