What makes a successful film for this aspect?

What tips have you picked up for your films?

Aspect 1:

Narrative (story, characters, setting)

Slow-mo shots about 18 people, all around their school.

Boys go around trying to find out if girls fart, 4 main characters, all around the place (School and homes I’m guessing)

Someone isn’t Cybersmart by being mean to someone online and goes back in time to stop it happening but it doesn’t work, 2 main characters, the resource center.

There aren't really many patterns here.

Aspect 2:

Cinematography (different shots and angles - see below)

Mostly Close ups with some medium close ups

Medium shots, Medium long shots, Medium close ups,

Long Shots, Birds eye view

Longshots, Medium long shots Medium shots, Close up

The all use at least a couple different shots/angles

Aspect 3:

Sound (dialogue, speech, sound effects, music)

There was some music in the background but no sound effects or anything like that

Some music and a lot of talking there were also some sound effects

Lots of talking and a little bit of sound effects but no music.

Except for the first one they all have a good amount of talking, they all did well with music and some did sound effects instead.

Summary of each film (this will be the base of your blog comment)

This video had a lot of cool slow motion shots and it had some good music to go with it

This was a funny video that had a good amount of different shots and they did very well on all the dialogue and sound effects.

This again was funny and was really thought about it had a lot of different angles and the dialogue was really good.
