“I have class tonight, so let’s go to a matinée instead.”

A matinée is a showing of a movie in the daytime – usually in the afternoon. Matinées are often cheaper than shows at night.

“What’s it rated?”

Many countries have a system for rating movies – evaluating how appropriate the movie is for various ages. This is the movie rating system in the United States:

§ G – General Audience = Appropriate for all ages

§ PG – Parental Guidance Suggested = May contain some mild violence and implied sexual activity

§ PG13 – Parents Strongly Cautioned = Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13 years old (moderate violence, strong language, sexual situations)

§ R – Restricted = Kids under 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, because the film has strong violence, sex, drug use, and/or very crude language.

§ NC-17 – Adults only = Extremely explicit violence or sex, extreme horror, etc.

“The first movie was a hit, but the sequel bombed.”

Describing a movie is a“hit” means it’s popular and successful. A sequel is another movie that continues the story or theme of a previous movie – for example, Toy Story 2 is the sequel to Toy Story. If you say a movie“bombed,” it means it was a failure; it was not popular or successful.

“I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!”

This is an idiomatic expression that means the movie was very interesting and exciting; you were so involved with the movie that you sat on the edge (the front part) of your seat to get closer to the action.

“The special effects were breathtaking, but the acting left something to be desired.”

Special effects are the effects created by computers, and acting is the performance of the actors and actresses. If you say something is breathtaking, it means it was amazing and incredible. The expression “left something to be desired” means it was not very good; you wish it had been better.

“Have you seen the trailer for the final part of the trilogy?”

A trailer is a 2-3 minute video summary of a movie, showing a few scenes that will interest people in seeing the entire movie. A trilogy is a series of 3 movies (like Lord of the Rings).

“I have a hard time understanding the dialogue without subtitles.”

“I have a hard time” is a common way to say “I have difficulty” in everyday spoken English. Subtitles are the written words on the bottom of the screen.

“Although the premise was intriguing, the plot was complex and a little hard to follow.”

The premise is the idea or concept of the movie, andintriguing is a word that means interesting, something that gets your attention. The plot is the story of a movie or book, and if it was“hard to follow” it means it was difficult to understand or confusing as you were watching the movie.

“The completely implausible twist at the end ruined it.”

A twist is an unexpected turn of events. If you describe it as implausible, it means it was too unlikely, not probable, too difficult to believe that it could really happen in that way. The word ruinedmeans made it bad.

“It’s the feel-good movie of the year – i found it very touching.”

A“feel-good” movie is one that makes you feel good, obviously! The wordtouchingmeans that it affected you emotionally in a good way. Another word you can use is heartwarming – it made your heart feel positive emotions.

“My boyfriend thought it was hilarious, but i thought they went a little overboard with the potty humor.”

The word hilarious means extremely funny. “Potty humor” (also called “toilet humor” or “off-color humor”) is humor that is rather gross or disgusting because it involves sex or bodily functions. The expression “went a little overboard” means “there was a little too much.”

“To be honest, i liked the remake better than the original – the cast was much stronger.”

You can start a phrase with “to be honest” when you want to give your honest opinion. Sometimes filmmakers take a movie from the past and re-create it – the new version is called a remake. The wordcast refers to all the actors and actresses who participated in the movie.

Is it that it has a great story? Great characters? Is it that the cinematography is beautiful? Is it that each actor is giving a great performance? Is it that the soundtrack is top notch? Well, the answer is -- yes. Yes to all of this. And I know, that doesn't really help if you're actually trying to find out what elements make a movie great, because clearly -- something will be great if everything about it is great.

However, Simon Cade of DSLRguide is helping to make the whole concept of what a "great" movie is a little easier to understand by defining specific elements that can be found in the majority of history's most revered films.

Cade breaks it down thusly: (He also breaks down all of these elements into more specific concepts, like "conflict", "plot", and "dialog" for the script, which you can study more effectively here.)

o Script

o Character

o Acting

o Timing

o Sound

o Visuals

All of these elements are important in making a great film, but let's highlight the one thing that I personally think can make or break your movie: storytelling. Cinema is all about storytelling, and pretty much everything you put into your film, dialog, props, lighting, a song, or even an edit, communicates something to your audience. One concept that Cade brings up, though, is something I've seen countless young filmmakers and screenwriters fail to incorporate into their films time and time again -- and that's subtext.

Subtext can be used in just about anything in your film, whether it be in the script, the editing, or the cinematography. Essentially, subtext is all about the subtle messages you're trying to convey to your audience without explicitly coming out and stating them. When you over-explain or have clunky expositional scenes, your story begins to feel -- I don't know -- heavy. Your audience is being told what's going on instead of being allowed to explore the story and figure it out themselves.

Playwright and screenwriter David Mamet has shared a lot of helpful advice about how to add more subtext into your scripts, but I think the simplest way to do it without having to overthink it is by cutting your dialogue down to the bare minimum. If you've got a block of dialogue, cut it down to a line or two and see if you still convey what you need to. Ask yourself if you can communicate the same message with a look, a tick, or something non-verbal, because that will allow your audience to become more engaged (and more interested) with your film.

Clearly there could be stuff that Cade left off of his list, but for a 5-minute video, I say that he did a damn good job covering everything that (he thinks) it takes to make a great film. Check out his original blog post for more.
