Below is a link to the audience feedback I collected after showing the class a clip from 'It's Kind of a Funny Story' (2010), this is one of my influential films.

Action Plan
Keep humour at the centre of the project - take a good look at the script.
Keep industry conventions in mind when editing titles.
Contrasting characters in 'It's Kind of a Funny Story' (2010) made it funnier.
Try to get stereotypical people to answer the door (Old lady? Child? Busy/lazy person? Flirtatious woman?). Then reference them in the voiceover?
The handheld camera wasn't overly noticable in the clips I showed - while it is handheld, keep it quite steady.
Make sure the script doesn't make people feel too sympathetic for the character.
Make sure dialogue is believable.
Maybe hold auditions for parts?
