For me, it's all about the market research.

Never mention those two words on this forum again!

Sorry, I had a shit day at work...


So I just get to pick one, the very most aspect, I think it's maybe the sound. I'm ton between sound and cinematography. Sound is just ahead though.

What am I talking about. It's the script, the script is the most important factor.

I agree. The script is the foundation of the whole movie. It doesn't matter how good everything else is, if you've got a bad script to start the film just won't cut it.

A movie is like a deck of cards, each card being a fore mentioned element of the movie. Have a great monster but crap lighting and you may not see the monster. A gripping script with boring music, and you lose the suspence. Hot ass with droopy boobs, you get my point.
