Documentary Mistakes

In your own words, which of these three are the most important? Why? If there were one more mistake that could be added to this list, what do you think it would be?

"Not asking a question or choosing a theme" is the most important because it dictates the story of the documentary. If the film does not have a specific theme, the entire storyline is going to be vague. I think not shooting enough B-roll should be included into the list of problems. Personally, I found that a large percentage of the shots were no able to be used. Thus, shooting an excessive amount of B-roll was actually necessary in order to make a decent documentary.
