# Why did my film get rejected?

Bit bemused why your film didn't make the cut?

Here's the top 5 reasons why our Quality Control team often reject videos ...

#### **It has been filmed in portrait (the phone was not held on its side)**

Watch this ace film - you won't regret it - to see what we mean:

#### **It didn't answer the brief**

The film you make is no good to anyone if it doesn't follow the brief that was given.

#### **Your film arrived too late**

You missed the deadline for uploading and as we require a certain amount of videos to send to the client we had to find someone else to fill your place.

#### **We can't hear what you say**

Maybe your finger was over the mic or held too far away, or there was too much background noise.

#### **All we see is your head!**

You are lovely but the client wants to see more than just your face.They need to see where you are, what you're doing, what you are talking about. As if you are starring in a televised version of adult Show and Tell!
