13 Short Film Clichés

1 - After you learn the techniques of films, every film you watch is different and you begin to pick out what you know and what you want to learn

2 - Even though black & white looks good and can bring a lot of tension or make the film, it is over used by many filmmakers.

3 - Coulrophobia is the fear of clowns, "many short films are able to wedge clowns into their story when the clown has no reason to be in the film unless your character  works at the circus,has a clown in the family AND is relevant to the story, is a clown his/herself"

 I couldnt stop laughing about the clown part, but it does have a point on how most films have way to many common and uncommon things.

Another thing is the article is actually in a serious/sarcastic view which had me laughing for an hour, 

A question i have is, even with the common things can we still turn the film into a major thing?
