SIMPLE BASIC TIPS FOR MAKING A WATCHABLE MOVIE

1. Do not set out to make a movie about dangerous/stupid stunts it won't get shown.
2. If you could not get away with showing at your school it won't work here either.
3. Bounce your ideas off of many people and listen to what they say.
4. Dark scenes will not appear well on a theater screen. Film them in dim light or in daylight and edit
   them darker.
5. Overly bright white scenes show up badly. Avoid all white backgrounds
6. Do not talk too fast, It is sometimes hard to understand. Test this on an older person to see if they can understand what you just filmed.
7. People will lose interest in a movie if a scene drags on endlessly.
8. Try to set up the movie at the start so that the watcher can understand what is going on from the beginning.
9. Have fun with your movie and remember you will probably not change the world with it. Aim toward entertaining the crowd.
