Visual motifs in movies can be tricky. They can make stories deeper and help people connect with them. But there are some problems that can come up:

1. Too Much or Not Right:

   • If filmmakers use visual motifs too much or in the wrong way, they can become boring or annoying. This can take away from what the film is trying to say.
   • Example: If a broken clock keeps showing up but doesn't really fit the story, it might not mean anything.

2. Different Cultural Views:

   • People from different cultures may see visual motifs in their own unique ways. This can lead to misunderstandings.
   • Example: A symbol that makes sense in one culture might confuse someone from another, causing confusion instead of clarity.

3. Finding the Right Balance:

   • It can be hard to find the right balance between being too obvious and too subtle. If a motif is too obvious, it may feel forced. If it’s too subtle, viewers might not even notice it.

To help fix these problems, filmmakers can:

• Do research to learn about how different cultures see things.
• Use workshops or group discussions while creating the film to see if the visual motifs are effective.
• Make sure motifs are connected to the story, helping to add meaning instead of becoming overwhelming.
