So you want to be a movie critic? Who doesnt. It is a great job to have. I mean if you love movies, then what better way to make a living then watching them and telling people what you think about the movie you just saw. Most of us are already critics, but it is a big jump from just telling your friends what you think to making money telling the world what you think. The jump is big but not insurmountable and the first step is to know how to write a good review. Well of course, you may say, but it is not as easy as it may seem. Anybody can write a review, but not everyone can write a good, compelling, I have to read this persons review before I go to the movies this weekend, review. Whats the difference?
1. Actively Watch the Movie - Yes, I recognize that movie watching is a passive activity. Watching a movie isnt something you do, it is something that happens to you. However if youre planning on being a movie critic you have to learn how to watch a film with a critical eye. This means you need to pay attention to everything and I mean Everything. Notice how the actors are placed in each shot, the setting, the camera angles, even the music. All of these elements play a role in the story that is trying to be told and are important to talk about if you want to write the compelling sort of reviews that youll need to write if you want or make a living at reviewing movies.
