Things to remember while describing your favourite movie


1. Get background information

Since it is your favourite movie, you will put efforts in getting more information about the movie's background. This can include information on the director, stars, location and other basics of the movie. This knowledge will help you to describe the movie in greater clarity to your listeners. You can even include the place where you saw the movie, which can be a theatre or your home.

2. Summarize

Instead of narrating a two-hour commentary on the film, it is better to prepare a short summary of the movie using simple vocabulary and effective communication . It can include the main plot, beginning, climax and ending. Lengthy descriptions will only  bore your friends and turn them away. Keep your listeners gripped with proper usage of words and interesting summary. After summarizing, be sure to explain why you liked it in the first place.
