Lesson 2

Hi there boys and girls!!!
In case you were wondering what criteria I use to judge movies, then this might give a bit of insight, then maybe you can try it and become a world renowned movie blogger like myself (i wish LOL)


1, A well written-script with active characters who make decisiosn that lead them down a path.
2. Well-written dialogue that sounds natural.
3. Good actors and actresses that add their own touch to th emovie.
4. A great story. A simple story told in the right way is better than an intricate story with a million plots that don't connect. It's about connecting with the audience, not a million special effects and explosions.
5. Evokes emotiones--after all, if we want to watch a comedy, then we should be laughing. If we are watching a horror movie, we should feel scared. If we are watching a drama, we should feel for the characters. You never want to have an audience sympathize with your characters, but rather emphasize.
6. An invigorating climax.
7. All loose ends in the movie come together at the end for a powerful ending, even if it's simple. (unless the purpose is to set it up for a sequel).
8. Good setting that parallells the story.
9. Good transitions between scenes that are both efficient and creative. As a screenwriter, you always want to enter a scene as late as possible and exit a scene as soon as possible. Don't bore the audience with stuff that isn't important.
10. Good production that makes the story believable.

That"s how it done boys and girls. Now get your movie tickets and start judging.( excuse the pun)

Yours Sincerly
