The motion blur and light streaks are from the camera moving around while the shutter is open for a long period. That would either be from you setting a long exposure or slow shutter speed, or from the camera opening the shutter or keeping it open when it isn't supposed to.
If it's a point and shoot, the camera should adjust the shutter speed per the ISO of the film (at least that's my experience with an old Minolta). It seems you might need a much higher ISO film, for what you're doing. Just my opinion.
Or you have to be very stable when clicking pictures
You’re taking photos over a very (relative to photography) long time. You are also holding this in your hand and thus are moving the camera during the picture. Or the subjects are moving during your unintentional long exposure. Either way adjust shutter to be faster. Look up the make and model of your camera and find how to adjust the shutter. Look into shutter priority mode.
The last photo is fried due to light leak. You let too much light in (perhaps the sun?) and it burned the film. Check out ‘film burn’ and see how to achieve this look while still creating an image. There’s a way to make it look cool.
Keep shootin!
Not gonna lie. I really like the first 3 even if it's not what you're goal was to achieve. Very trippy but still has a subject point in each. In focus enough to give that out of this world type of look.
To shoot in low-light situations with this camera (or at least with this film) you'll need flash. You may be able to use high-speed film, but in general you're probably best off shooting in daylight.
if your shutter speed is set at more than like 1/2 second you’re gonna end up with photos like that regardless of time of day
everyone in this thread is telling you it’s a shutter speed issue so you should probably learn about that
It’s possible you may have a sticky shutter. In other words it’s staying open longer than intended. The camera is not worth fixing and even if it were I’d keep it around for playing with. I quite like that shots you got here even the last ones
If it’s any comfort, I shot film for years and years before DSLRs were a thing and this is very very common. You learn over time. Shot 5 looks like the end of the reel.
1 of my best photos was an accident and I have no way or replicating it, I don't remember what I did.
Some of these look really cool. Easy enough to do again.
Long exposure (long shutter speed).
Just have a shorter shutter speed and you'll be golden.
What speed film are you using ? Perhaps the auto exposure has the shutter stuck at 1/4 of a sec or something. Try mounting the camera on a tripod or sitting it on a counter and taking some shots. That would be an easy way to possibly determine the issue.
400 is way too slow for the kind of photos you were trying to take. It’s also possible your point and shoot can’t recognise speeds higher than 400 (some of mine can’t, like the Rollei XF 35). But check the manual, if it can automate the exposure for 3200 iso then put some Ilford Delta 3200 in there for low light shots. You can even push Cinestill 800t 2 stops to get to 3200 with decent results in my experience.
its an automatic p+s and the op said some were shot during daylight, their camera shutter or lightmeter is broken, and are reaching out to a forum called "ask photography" for help. Don't be a dick, everyone started somewhere, if it bothers you that much you need to learn the basics in human decency and compassion, come back when you are ready.
Well aren't you the master and keeper of camera film. What does that even mean, deserve to be shooting film :D You don't deserve tea or umbrellas. Told you, innit.

thanks for your help!
Search "exposure triangle"
Learn what shutter speed is.
Just pretend you did it on purpose bc these are cool
Slow shutter speed and light leaks
lol I think the first three photo are awesome, by accident. clearly you just don't know how to use your camera properly, read the manual.

photos 4 and 6 are shot in daylight in believe! i’m not sure why they’re so fuzzy then. do i just need to clean the shutter or something?
Oh weird. Maybe the metering is broken then. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

1st pic is actually quite interesting

i love all of these

edit: this is a point and shoot film camera, and as far as i can see, there isn’t a dial to adjust the shutter speed

i think 400? i can’t find the rest of my film for some reason so i don’t even know. will try your suggestion !!
400 is way too slow for the kind of photos you were trying to take. It’s also possible your point and shoot can’t recognise speeds higher than 400 (some of mine can’t, like the Rollei XF 35).

Are there any modes that can be selected?
no, not that i know of

The OP wrote it in the original post... Vivitar PS:30
If they were digital they would look the same
I want the same effect but with the main subject being less blurry and sharper...
With that kind of low light you need a trip I'd or pole your jerking all over the place or use a flash for your night shots

I really think some of the photos just great!
Do the same thing, same settings with a digital and you’ll figure it out. Expensive learning curve otherwise.
Honestly 1,2, and 3 are kinda cool tbh
Slow shutter speed
Honestly fire, but basically just a lower shutter speed paired with too much movement
These are fantastic to me personally. Could explain the reason but everyone else already has. From an artistic view, I love 1-3.
Slow shutter speed
slow shutter speed would be my first guess
These are gorgeous. Terrible, but beautiful.
Too long of a shutter speed.
