As a #Screenwriter #pathinettampadi has lots to teach. The thread talks about the don't taught by the film

1. Do not make the story too complicated by introducing too many characters in the beginning
2. Do not leave the audience confused as to wondering who's against whom

3. Do not have half developed characters in the script that go nowhere
4. Do not show unrealistic but well choreographed between village students.
5. Do not show unrealistic things happening like arson, rampage etc. and police is not doing anything

6. Do not put big stars in small meaningless cameos just to attract people to the theaters
7. Do not waste time in showing story plots which remain unfinished, do not go anywhere before you come to real message (if any) in the movie, give in bits

8. Do not have a deluge of emotional moments in the script (with little relevance to the main plot) and interlace them with songs
9. Do not put romance track, rivalry, jealousy as "ingredients" in a recipe, but only if your script demands
#Screenwriter #pathinettampadi

Last but not the least
10. Do not try to show everything in one film, because the audience wouldn't know, which track to follow, which character's story is being told and what exactly is in the filmmaker's mind
