toba: items 3 and 11 are not too correct
Item 3 is a bit correct, it is used in most movies. Item 11 is just to show that they don't make proper use of slow motion

EVERY.SINGLE Nollywood movie I have ever watched has had the background tracks. (Why is this done?)

It used to really irritate me, but now after the first few minutes I just tune it out.

Well, I have no idea why it is done that way and the funny thing is that they end up revealing everything about the movie through the soundtrack. Even from the movie title, u would have known every detail about the movie from the onset to the end.
