When we go to the movies we are witnessing a real situation that has been magnified so that we can see all the angles and nuances that accompany any problem or issue. The members of the audience that are watching the film are made to feel sympathy with the character, or at least feel some emotion toward the character, that helps them to identify with the people in the movie. This helps the audience members enjoy the escape that the film provides.



Before it was possible to watch a full feature film without interruption in the comfort of your home, the only place to see films was in a movie theater. The experience of watching a movie in the dark theater with the giant screen and a bucket of hot buttered popcorn is something that is very hard to duplicate.

If you are studying the theater, watching the films that were created in the 1930's and 1940's is almost the equivalent of getting a degree in the art of filmmaking. Some of the best directors that have ever worked in Hollywood came out of that generation of films. The stories were all well structured with the focus on the emotions of the characters.

When you watch these films you will see that the aim of the filmmaker is to grab the emotions of the audience through the film and the characters in the film. Today's filmmaker needs to find the best way to grab the heart and mind of today's moviegoers.

The pace of the film is one of the ways that the filmmaker can control the emotions that are felt by the audience. The experiences that the characters have on the screen are also the way into the hearts of the filmmaker. The main character should be in pursuit of a goal during the course of the movie. The plot should introduce obstacles to the main character in pursuit of his goal.

Through the story the character should grow and change from the person that he was in the beginning of the film. This how a movie becomes meaningful. When characters in a movie do not change and grow the film will not become one of the memorable films that we all know and love.

The story is told through the different scenes in the movie. It is up to the filmmaker to determine what scenes should be in the film and which ones should be left out. Each scene must do its part to move the events of the plot forward and if the filmmaker determines that a scene does not meet those criteria then it should be eliminated.

The filmmaker will need to determine if a particular scene will move the plot forward and what would happen if it were left out. It is important to determine what would happen if any of the scenes were left out of a movie. To do this, try to see the film, as an audience member would view it and ask if it gives the audience a clearer understanding of the story.

All movies start with a question at the beginning and a solution when it finishes. All of the dialogue and action in the movie will be a part of finding the answer to that question. It is the filmmaker's job to interest and engage the audience enough so that they care about the solution.

The best stories are those that have a great many twists and turns in the plot. This will help keep the audience members trying to guess what is going to happen next. This kind of engagement is what makes a truly great film.
