I dont want to sound too mean but below is an example of an A2 short film called "Stranded" and it is literally terrible, but by watching it I have managed to pick up on things not to do in my film which should hopefully make mine better.
What I learnt:
- They use alot of copywrited music which isn't proffesional
- The characters often look at the camera for a split second, which takes away the feel of it being a film, so I need to tell my actors not to do this and if they do, redo the shot
- Their is a lot of wind and car engine noise, if I have this problem I should record the lines seperatly and dub it over the top
- A lot of the actions don't really seem to have any purpose which makes it a bit comical in a way although it's not supposed to be. So I should try to make it clear why my characters have done things
- It's a very predictable idea and ending, I should try to be more original
- The acting is so bad, if I can't find good actors it might be worth me trying to come up with a plot that isn't heavily dependant on acting
- I didn't like how the bad guy was a very stereo typical bad guy, I think a more original bad guy or one that you wouldnt expect would be a choice
