Any recommendations on settings when filming with Nikon D3100?

Have a Nikon D3100 that i'm using for film. Still getting used to it. I have the video quality on 1080p but it doesn't seem to be up to par when i film things with it. Any other setting adjustments that may help?

Fact is you can't use this camera for film… Only film cameras do that. You're shooting video or hadn't you noticed you don't have to buy film. The terms are not interchangeable so unless you want to go around sounding dumb about your camera all the time, figure out your terms.

Three steps.
Open the manual
Read the manual
Do what it tells you

Video not film. Lighting before setting.
