Elements of a great film
First, I think a great film must have a good script. The dialogue,as well as the plot and the characters, needs to be believable.The story does not have to be the most original,but it needs to be told in an interesting way, and this requires a good scriptwriter.
Of course, there are many other elements of a great film, but l believe these ones are the most important.
Second, the director plays a very important role in making a great film. The film needs to look good, and the images need to be well thought out. The best films have directors that are fully in control of everything the audience sees on the screen.
Finally,I believe that finding the right actors is essential. The audience needs to connect with the characters in the film and care about them. You cannot make a great film without great actors.
