Every filmmaker makes mistakes, whether it is big or small, beneficial or detrimental. It is important for us to realize when we are making these mistakes and correct ourselves, otherwise we will make them again and again. One, we spend too much time working on our computers, being more hands on and free form will allow creativity to flow. Two, we care too much about what is currently popular. In other words we try to see what will get us the most exposure or money but in reality our best product will come from what we want to make and our love for it. Three, not making enough narrative content, people watch a film for the story, if you do not have enough explaining or content relevant to the story the audience will get lost. Four, failure is always a lurking in everyone's mind, as a film maker you shouldn't be spending brain power, and time dwelling on failure, when you can be focusing on doing your absolute best. Fifth, is to be humble, do not feel as though you are the most important person working on a film, it benefits everyone for you to have a modest view of your own importance.
Keeping your mind on track to avoid mistakes is very important when film making or doing anything for that matter. I think that avoiding these mistakes will allow me to work better creatively as well as in a team. Additionally, you would most likely look better in the eyes of others as someone who is confident in their work, as well as generating original content.
