The film review writes like this, brightening your circle of friends!

Are you like me, watching a movie, knowing it's good but not seeing it? Obviously, there is a feeling that accumulates in my chest but I can't say it. Not to mention writing a film review, I can't think of the words that need to be matched in my circle of friends for a long time. Seeing other people's film reviews on Zhihu Douban, I silently admire them. It's really a great god, seeing it so carefully, associating it so richly, and telling the truth so profoundly.

? In fact, there are skills and methods to write film reviews. This American bestseller How to Write a Film Review is a rare introductory guide to film review writing. It tells us how to write film reviews step by step from recognition to watching movies.

First of all, know about movies.

Film is the specific meaning produced by the interaction of art, technology and commerce. Among them, art includes literature, plastic arts, music, dance, drama, architecture and so on. A film with outstanding artistic performance can often give people a beautiful artistic feast, such as Berlin: City Symphony. Technical aspects refer to shooting, sound effects, colors, special effects, editing and so on. With the discovery of the times, photography technology has become more and more developed. When we get used to the colors and special effects of modern movies, we will feel that the silent films in black and white movies used to look strange. A movie with cool special effects is also easy to attract the audience's comments. Commercial value is the shooting capital that the film needs to invest. Generally, Hollywood movies will cost a lot of money, and users will have more expectations for it.

Second, write six points of film criticism.

1, watching movies with questions.

Before watching a movie, you can ask yourself some questions, such as when and where the movie was filmed, and what are your expectations for the movie? At the same time, you can combine your hobbies. Are you interested in music or editing or architectural art and costume aesthetics? When watching a movie, you can pay special attention to the parts you are interested in.

2. Think and take notes while watching movies.

When you start watching movies, you should start to turn the preset questions into specific questions, such as what is the theme of the movie? How is the theme constructed? The first time you watch a movie, you don't need to take notes carefully, but you need to remember what impressed you the most in the movie.

3. Learn to talk to movies.

Dialogue with movies, such as what is the relationship between the title and the movie, and why is it called this name? What is the opening picture of the movie? What is the picture at the end of the movie? When was this film shot? What are the similarities and differences compared with other movies? What elements in the movie make you feel strange or confused? What elements repeatedly emphasize a point of view?

4. Take notes for movies

The second time you watch a movie, you need to take detailed notes. At the beginning, you can remember the questions in your mind and the dialogues in the movies. The key is to learn to recognize the key scenes in movies, and most movies will have a dramatic climax or theme.

When taking notes, try to be specific, not only to record the characters and content in the film, but also to record the lens itself and its photography technology. This makes it easy for us to think about how the director expresses the content through photography angle, lighting, depth of field and editing technology.

5. organize your notes and determine the theme?

Organize your notes, determine the theme of the film, list the specific points you want to discuss, and illustrate your argument with specific examples and your understanding of the film. Good articles will start with less controversial topics and then develop to more complicated points such as style and technology.

After determining the theme, the following four levels can help you analyze and clarify the theme:

1) The relationship between movies and other artistic traditions such as literature and painting.

2) The dramatic level of the movie picture, or its scene scheduling.

3) A movie consisting of camera positions and clips.

4) The use of sound in movies.

In addition, each theme has its own unique language and vocabulary, and using film terms when writing film reviews will make the discussion of film reviews more accurate. For example, "narrative" and "viewpoint" in literature. Professional terms at the level of drama: "scene scheduling" and "realism". "Lens" and "Film Speed" in composition and images. The "speed" and "long shot" of picture editing. "actual sound" and "post dubbing" in sound.

6. Write the outline of the article first, then start writing.

Organize the outline of the article before writing, and express all parts of the outline in complete sentences like writing a title. Finally began to write, constantly thinking about the theme in the process of writing, expanding ideas.

Third, enhance the height of the film.

By following the previous steps, you can already write a good film review. If you want to make your film reviews higher, you can do some film research. Collect first-hand and second-hand information about movies, consult books and periodicals and browse professional websites. Find some film-related materials through these channels to enrich your articles and strengthen your writing.

Of course, it is not an overnight event to write a thoughtful and in-depth film review. But I believe that if you think and practice according to the author's method, your film review writing will definitely make progress.
