It’s because you shot from the script not from storyboards, so your transitions

It’s because you shot from the script not from storyboards, so your transitions suck. Script -> storyboards -> locations -> production -> shoots.

Want to improve your skills as a director? spend three years learning how to draw, and learn from the comic books. During that time build a library of clips so you see how to make various shots.

This is your inventory. locations, production, and actors are what cost you money.

Now. You might think you’re creative. Or talented. But you’re wrong. It’s all just details. And the best directors are better at using the inventory, planning all the details, so that when you want to shoot, you care mostly about what you can’t do ahead of time: coach the actors.

In the editing room, your goal is to manage the viewer’s emotions the entire time. If you got enough shots you can do that. If you didn’t you cant.

Yes and tat is why your low budget flick sucks. You didn’t get it to storyboard, or map story boards to shoots, and plan out all your production costs ahead oftime. And if you did, you couldn’t coach your actors.

And so you shot your script and your movie sucks. You have a set of two second to four second stills of your script. and it’s dead. emotionally dead.
