Bad Composition
A poorly composed shot will distract the audience, or worse, make a scene entirely unwatchable.
Background
Many composition pitfalls lie in the subject's environment. Trees and phone poles, vases or pictures on walls may all cause problems.
Some examples:
A flagpole protruding from the top of an actor's head
a vase that may seem to be balanced on someone's shoulder
a power line running through the frame may appear to be going in one of your subject's ears, and out the other.
It's best to steer clear of any such visual distractions.
