Here are a few good ways to become a good filmmaker/director/writer:
1.) Watch as many good movies/tv shows as possible, they will give you a better sense of what works well and what doesn't, watching low-budget crap won't get your standards higher.
2.) Write as much as you can! If you have an idea for a movie write it down, and work on it when you have time. Writing will help you visualize your movie, and the better you become at writing the better you become at seeing the movie you want.
3.) Read! The more you read the better your vocabulary becomes, and the better you can describe things in your script.
4.) Never stop learning, when you stop learning, you're in trouble. Being artistic isn't enough, you need to be technically sound as well as artistic.
5.) Write logically! The biggest problem in most movies (especially low-budget horror) is that things just don't make any sense, or happen for no reason at all. Think of what you would go pay to see and make sure that you make something you would be willing to spend your hard earned money to watch.
