1 Crowd scenes
Small staged crowd scenes can look cheesy and fake. Authentic crowd scenes can be complicated by weather and cost huge amounts of money for venues and crowds. Even crowds willing to work for free must have facilities, lights, catering, parking, water, and transportation. That's in addition to the crew and principal actors.
2. MusicSongs that are famous of that people know by name must be licensed for use. If you specify certain song that song must be licensed for use. The first thing a funding company or production company does is add up the costs of the music. A screenplay featuring some music must have music in other parts of the film to balance it. Dogme style independent film making uses atmospheric sounds that can be scored into the editing room print versus a formal orchestra and sound scoring costs.
3. Too many characters
Unnecessary characters or characters not contributing to plot development in the film add a lot of money. These take extra effort to cast and pay for. Try making multiple characters a composite. Instead of three friends on a football team, make it one. If you have an office full of co-workers, choose one to say things that speak for the group.
4. Locales
Film permits, gas, crew expenses, meals, and complexities of unpredictable weather and technical problems make film locations an issue. Expect to offer local Film Commissions money or credit for film use of their city or venue. Use radio, television, and telephone dialogues to cover material developed in scenes that might be cut. Extensive outdoor scenes may suffer in quality if too many days shooting requires the weather stay consistent.

5. Exterior Shots
Ever see a short film scene where a member of the cast has a walk outside or a brief picnic? When the rest of the film is happening mostly indoors? You can tell when a rush shot of an exterior is included becase the action stays tight and the camera moves with the actor. Close exterior shots often suffer in comparison to the overall film. In a studio shoot, there are 30-60 people standing outside the camera frame assisting the film production. Exterior shots require extra sound looping and sophisticated microphoning and audio captures. It's a lot of extra work that could be trimmed to the minimum.
6. Dolly shots or tracking shots
The track or dolly must be constructed for the camera to move on. Given the expense of cameras, the construction must be sound as is more complicated than you might think. Special cameramen skilled in tracking shots must be hired.
7. CGI Effects
Computer graphic imaging for a film costs money to set up and draw. Additional staff must be used. Final effects must be apoprievd and then filled in by redraw and animation teams of artists. Then CGI Effects must be edited using sophisticated computers. Animators or painters must be used to produce a film scene that may be no more than 5 minutes or less. Where would you rather have the money for that 5 minutes go? A better known actor? Better costumes?
8. Music/ Singing
Think carefully before putting musical numbers into your film screenplay. Musicals have dance elements that require extra staging. They are complicated and effort intensive to film. Many key actors will require singing coaches and time to practice. This requires extra cast coaching, preparation, rehearsal, performance, and studio time to record. Then the sound editors have to mix it with the finished edit of the film, after it's been cut. If you want an independent studio to get financed for your screenplay, work around these parameters.
9. Blue screen/green screen
These scenes require live scenes and extra directions with actors and the subsequent production needed for the final cut. It can take a team of film animators and special effects wizards week to months to yield one clear shot. The rising sophistication of audiences detects less than seamless integration of real photography with blue screen techniques. Think about ways to lessen these resource needs.

10. Television or movie clips
Television or movie clips in your film must be paid and licensed for use. The owners of the film clips may not approve the sue of them in your film even if you have the money. Even if the clips are showing on someone's television in your film or on a movie screen, it could be very expensive. Make sure before you include a title or music number from any licensed property it's absolutely essential to the artisitc impact of the scene
