Common Flaws in Nigerian Home Videos

If if we have sponsors who can invest heavily on the movie industry will these pirates allow them succeed?
Sometime we just have to consider these people. they are into business and will want to make profit.
Who wats to lose? Govt. too should help them.

American artists enjoy treamedous support from their govt. why not here too?

One other thing that annoys me most is the way the artists reflect on the past. It is always the same old annoying and mechanical way - face down, then face up, he/she then stares for a long time (probably shaking the head), then the camera comes so close........ so so boring.

One of my less demanding pastimes is watching Nigerian home movies. Whenever  i am home i get to watch some of these Pseudo-comedies, with all their poor story lines, editing, acting and all. But the beauty is despite these high level of incompetence they are seen all over Africa (and the world too) and are seen as standards for style,dress , makeup  e.t.c. One of the more popular producers owned up by saying they now make movies for the MARKET WOMAN. My main concern however these days are the poor visual effects and editing, i actually believe that there are guys out there doing great stuff especially on nairaland who can get rid of these mediocrity. So are there any visual/graphic editors out there ??

The sound effect of the movie bad,the gun shots sounds r like toy guns,the picture and maybe the language shuld also be an issue to worry about

all that are some of the flaws. If I understand the topic well I think actors etc do well to stick  to what is purely African! They immitate the western nations too much. Indians produce great films but they are still strictly Indian I think nigerians can do same! It should be purely African not 'when Americans act Nigerians copy'!! 

Y'all already said the important ones, but here's two that sticks with me each time i watch dem 9ja movies:
Lipcolour/gloss/stick- is it d same colour they all wear, i'm talkin abt the same light purple lipstick or wtv that all the female actors except Eucharia[dunno who does her make-up wears] wears. that pisses me off cos there's a whole lotta colours to choose from, but iono y they stick with that one.
Boots- y do they have to wear boots in the hot afternoon, wat's wrong with nice heel or stilletos. saw genny in 'He lives in me'', the part where she just came from the states and she was rockin them cowboy boots, made me feel so itchy, i felt like takin them off and placin her feet in cold water; and it was so hot, you could see the sweat on her face. Geez, expose your feet, they need O2 too.

abi i talk lie?

  i know eh, i can't stand that colour now 

The flaws are just to obvious.What do the movie people take Nigerians for?Predictability,recycling,poor audio and video quality,poor diction{in most films}.etc.Its very nuseating.Get your arts together,go for courses,futher your education and the bottom line try to be more creative.My advise to the movie people.

  @ concentrated. dat's wat we call igbotic 

I feel you, but i only show the traditional movies to my friends, it's better. at least you're showin them a part of your history.

I find them more entertaining, at least we're not tryin to show off d fake accents. you ever seen Igodo? now that's a classic traditional movie.

oh well, different strokes for different people 

Being able to see the microphone, the shadow of the cameraman, also it's sometimes possible to hear the directors instructions.

i think the most common flaw is that u already no what will happen b4 the film starts.now am not exagerating but thats the case though.
and also did anyone notice that at the end of the film,eveything comes to a still and the actors freeze.
also in most yoruba films,the concluding part occurs that everything that was wrong appears right again.can things not just be wrong in their films?i mean things go wrong in real life!its just so unrealistic.
