7 Ways To Do Bad Exposition

Why is exposition so clunky and cringe-worthy in certain movies, TV, and books? In this video, we explore pitfalls to avoid when feeding the audience their exposition. Special Note: I attempted to harvest examples from films and TV shows that I truly love, so that I don't come across as in any way mean-spirited toward my fellow writers and creators. This made this video infinitely harder to edit together (as well as impossible to monetize)! All exposition mistakes described in this video are mistakes I have made myself time after time after time.
