Some Last Pre-Production Research

Before we took out to film I decided i would look at some tutorials and online advice to see if i could improve anything or to make sure we didn't do certains things while filming. Instantly i came across a video titled "Top 15 Mistakes Beginner FilmMakers Make" i instantly click on it to make sure we don't make any of these mistakes.
Here's are the Top 15:
1. Weak story
2. Undercooked scripts
3. Bad sound
4. Poor casting choices
5. Poor shot composition
6. White walls (lame, dull)
7. Poor lighting
8. Unnecessary insert shots (added random close-ups of random things during a scene.)
9. Lingering
10. Too many pregnant pauses (silences that could slow the scene down and lose the audiences attention.)
11. No blocking (movement)
12. Too much chit chat
13. Action for the sake of action
14. Clichés
15. Generic music

After watching this i will definitly keep in mind some of the things said.
