I'm going to teach you how to write scripts for movie review videos on TH-cam. There are five crucial elements to every great script: - **The Cold Open** - this is like a hook that lets viewers know what to expect and entices them to watch further. - **The Intro** - this tells viewers what the video is about and tease something later in the video in order to keep them watching. - **Concept in Action** - this is like the body of the script and the main idea is to make a captivating narrative that includes a false hope moment. For a movie review script, we'll include things we liked and didn't like about the movie in this section. - **The Golden Moment** - this is the pinnacle of the story - the main moment. The hero’s success moment. In a movie review, this could be something like the best or worst thing about the movie. - **The Outro** - this is the ending that has a core idea or takeaway. When writing the script, it’s important to hook viewers and keep them engaged. **Hook viewers in every part of the video**. It’s no secret that the average person’s attention span is shorter than it used to be. In fact, a recent study showed that the average attention span is now just 8 seconds. So how do you hook viewers in the first 30 seconds of your video? Here are a few tips: ### **1. Start with a bang.** Your first few seconds are critical in grabbing attention. So **make sure you start strong**! An attention-grabbing opening could be anything from an exciting statistic to a visually arresting scene. ### **2. Tell them what they’re going to learn.** **Viewers want to know what’s in it for them. So tell them**! Give them a quick overview of what they can expect to learn from your video. ### **3. Be clear and concise.** **Don’t try to cram too much information into your opening**. Keep it short, sweet, and to the point. ### **4. Have a strong call to action.** **End your opening with a strong call to action that tells viewers what you want them to do next**. Whether it’s subscribing to your channel or watching another video, make it clear what you want them to do. By following these tips, you can make sure your video gets off to a strong start and keeps viewers engaged for the whole duration. Ok, are you ready to write a script?
My fav tip was when you pointed out how important it is to show our personality. The top actors/ actresses lean into it. Our personality becomes our success & monitizable trademark.
I understand the B-roll footage tip, but I'm worried about getting copy striked. How much B-roll can i use from the media I'm reviewing before TH-cam thinks it's too much?
Don't. I love making youtbe reviews. Me and my friend get to talk over a movie like we usually do, and it's fun to go back and edit. But in the end, all the work and you get claimed, and there's nothing you can do about it. It's just not worth the headache. I just want people to see my videos, but unless I have the money to pay a lawyer to write my appeal, I'm fucked. And I don't. I'm not doing this as a job. I just enjoy making videos and want to share me and my friend's banter with the world, but clear cases of fair use mean nothing. For those out of the know, fair use is not a law. It's an exemption, and pretty much works case by case. So, if you can't convince the claimant that your work is fair use, your only option is to proceed with official legal proceedings. Some companies even know this and will blanket deny, because who's going to actually pay to get a lawyer involved for a hobby. And that's where I am. My movie review of storks, a movie I wanted to review because it's not well known but deserves to be, is now removed and I have a strike because WB refuses to acknowledge fair use without actual legal action. And I can't even afford to invest the money to get a lawyer to write an appeal. The sad part is it's likely that when a lawyer gets involved, they will drop it, as it really doesn't matter for a channel with 250 subs to make a review. Why pay the money? But I can't afford it. And I faced the same issue with making abridged series. Another thing I love to do, but no one can see them. One of my favorite shows to abridge, Ranma 1/2, gets removed because the company has insisted on blanket removing everything using the show. This is even more transformative, as all audio has been replaced with my own voices and effects work. It only uses the footage, but the events are highly changed and the script completely rewritten. It's just not worth the effort to make anything for TH-cam as a hobbyist.
These are all great tips and all; a lot of which I haven't seen explained as well, or at all in other videos. But my problem is I've been watching all these videos and doing all these web searches trying to find out "where" or "how" to get movie footage for the movies I'm talking about. I actually have a bachelor's degree in animation, and learned a lot about basic editing and production (including the importance of "B-Roll" footage). I do know a bit about fair use, copyright issues, how to find generic "stock footage and images". So I'm all good there. I just don't know how/where all these TH-cam review channels get their movie footage. I once made a music video for one of my bands where i just strung a bunch of horror movie clips together playing over the music. But for that i literally just set up a camera on a tripod, pointed it at my TV, and just videotaped a bunch of movie footage from my personal collection. We're kind of a "punk" band and the movies were mostly old-school, low budget "B-Movies". So that grungy, d.i.y. approach fit well for that. But I'm pretty sure the TH-camrs I'm watching are doing something a bit more sophisticated than that. I've seen some people suggest actually reaching out to the movie studios and requesting footage to use. That definitely seems like the safest, most legitimate route to take (especially for new movies currently in theaters), but that also seems like a bit more work. If you are just doing an in depth review of a single movie, then yeah. That seems reasonable. But I watch a lot of videos about the "Top 10" this kind of movie, or the "Top 20" movies on whatever streaming service. I seriously doubt that all the TH-cam reviewers are contacting EVERY movie studio to get all the footage in those cases! I've also seen some people say to just look up movie footage right here on TH-cam and just download that. But I'm not really seeing any way to do that unless I either subscribe to TH-cam Premium, or copy and paste the URLs into different, 3rd party download software. Are those the only 2 options? I don't really want to subscribe to Premium if I don't have to; and I have tried a couple of the downloaders I've seen mentioned. But so far the download software I've come across has either been these shady as hell virus magnets or just plain doesn't work. I have had some luck finding sites that have those little meme-ish clips that are only a few seconds long. Thats cool, and I'm sure I'll make use of that in some cases. But that's not really what I'm looking for. I'm looking to do that thing where I have different, longer movies scenes (without sound) playing while my voice-over is discussing that movie. The only other option I can think of is actually "ripping" movie footage to my computer. But I quit all that "piracy/torrent" jazz at least 10-15 years ago. And I've been out of that game for so long that I'm sure the tech and methods have completely changed. So yeah, I know these people must be getting this movie footage from fairly legal and dependable sources. For the life of me tho, I just can't get any solid advice. It's starting to feel like there's some special club or something that everyone else knows about and I'm just not invited! Lol Sorry for the super long post (definitely no Chat GPT here! Lol), but this whole movie footage thing is pretty much the ONLY thing holding me back right now. I've got decent gear (good enough to start out with anyway), decent ideas, a fair amount of technical know-how, plenty of time and plenty of motivation to get things rolling. It just this ONE THING! Any nudge in the right direction would be immensely appreciated! Thanks
Download OBS onto your computer. Set it to record your screen and capture computer audio. Go to TH-cam and play the movie trailer and record it with OBS That’s what literally everyone does, myself included.
Do movie reviews have short lifespans? If you see a movie on Friday but wait to upload your review about it on Monday, do you loose ground on potential views because you didn’t upload the review opening weekend?
Yep, unless you take a different approach. For example, as opposed to a title like, “Joker 2 Movie Review” do something like, “Joker 2 Easter Eggs and Hidden Details” You can still weave in your thoughts/review of the movie as well. But, that kind of video will do better when released later than a run of the mill review video.
Very nice video man! Quite helpful. I am willing to give it a shot. The idea is not to make a lot of short videos, but make a thoroughly researched, more of an essay than review I'd say. The only thing I am worried about is copyright since you can't go without playing some music, showing clips, screenshots etc. when doing a movie review. What are your thoughts on this?
For most things 1000s of people have probably already made a video about that thing before. You however have never made a video talking about that before (until you have), and if your first impulse is to try and mimic someone else who did it well, you've given up the one thing that made your video unique.
I use a SonyA6000, it's pretty mid-tier but gets the job done. This is mostly going to come down to personal preference. I will say for at least the first year, I was simply plugging my iphone into my computer and using it as my camera and it worked great.
I love watching Roanoke Gaming reviews because he's a scientist and he breaks down the science of a horror movie or creature as he reviews the film and breaks it down.
Here's what I do. Use at 3-7 seconds of a clip at at time. I prefer 3-5 seconds. If the scene has recognizable music. Try not to use it. You can, but be careful. Also kill the audio during that scene.
There's a way to mark content as for mature audiences, but I don't think I'd do it personally because then YT won't serve your content to as many people.
Have a Question... If I want to start a channel where I review, recommend classic 1980's horror movies, can I download a full movie from something like Tubi and then select a few good scenes and clip them out myself? Yes, this is a serious question. Been thinking about starting a channel, but not sure if it's possible to create my own clips. / Thanx for taking a look at my comment. Looking forward to your reply.
Not sure about Tubi, but if I were wanting a specific clip from a show or movie, I’d play it on my computer and use OBS to screen record the segment I’m wanting for my video. Hope this helps!
This was very helpful. The biggest problem I have is knowing HOW to get the clips off Prime and HBO since they don’t allow screenshots or screen record. Do you have a video on that?
I use a chrome plugin called "Video Screenshot" to get all my still images. Most of them won't allow screen recording, but if they do, I use OBS for screen recording.
What I find problem is that I can download movies or use edit sound and images but how can I speak in the video and make the movie into 5 minutes short vidoe
1. Find your niche within the niche - be unique 2. Learn basic editing/use b-roll 3. Package the video FIRST 4. ChatGPT for scriptwriting 5. Don't over think - get started. Tell me...how are these "just opinions"?
Check out my other video on copyright - th-cam.com/video/72vlEOPP5LM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HNwzTtzVrGBPEI4s With editing, you're just going to have to dive in and learn one video at a time. I use and recommend Davinci Resolve because it's free and quite awesome.
I've never known one to exist. That said, Sean Chandler has a Patreon tier where you get one call a month with him to talk about whatever you want. Probably the best option for you.
Your video is awesome! Thank you! I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers; your editing is top tier! Where do I find B-Roll? I was wanting to do a movie review of Disney's Bolt but where do I get the scenes? I'm already familiar with DaVinci Resolve and script writing. I just need the B-roll. I don't know how to put movie scenes into my videos. Where do I find them? Can you help me with this?
I have found that my favorite TH-cam movie critics and their formats are pretty much all the same: short, concise, funny, spoiler-free, and a friendly, personable attitude. BUT, that being said, these SAME critics that I subscribe to and follow are the SAME ONES that others thrash and hate!! They even post 22-minute HATE videos on them! WTH!!??
@@TheorySmack I mean how do movie reviewers edit movies ? In my case I just use movie trailer and edit it to tell my thoughts about movie. But that is quiet limiting. Is there any other way To do it? so I could save myself front copyright and do it legally as well.
@@TheorySmack thanks. I have a question about the voice overs. Can you do your own voiceovers or do you go the voiceover website to use the AI voiceovers after you erased the audio of the clip/movie film
@@dranmarks I do my own voiceovers. I'm sort of anti-AI, lol. As a viewer, I like knowing there's a human behind the content and an AI voice is just a big turn-off for me.
@@TheorySmack how are you doing today. I was looking at your latest episode a murder at end world episode 5 which you did an phenomenal job. I notice you using still phots than pan left, right, up, and down. How long do you have it pan for. It look like it between 5 to 7 secs per clip.
My sister and I 100% want to get into this space! This was very helpful, lots of your content brings tons of value (underrated in our opinion) A wall we seem to hit a lot is the “no one cares about our opinion-yet” thoughts you have shared on your channel… we get so excited about movies that our ideas come off as us just talking about what we think haha Also shorts seem to be way easier for us to come up with ideas than longer form content. We are excited to figure it out and your ideas def get the ideas flowing 💡
I’m super stoked to hear something I put out resonated with you two! Be careful with shorts, IMO. I think they’re fast track to tons of subs that don’t lead to much of anything really valuable. Shorts can be a PART of your strategy, but shouldn’t be a primary growth mechanism. Best of luck to you guys! And remember, on TH-cam, a pretty insane fraction of succeeding simply comes down to consistency (which I myself have had to learn the hard way). Just. Keep. Going.
I am about to start a channel and I'm so glad I found your videos! Would you be willing to chat with me via email? I've got a couple things I need suggestions on!! Thanks!
I'm going to teach you how to write scripts for movie review videos on TH-cam.
There are five crucial elements to every great script:
- **The Cold Open** - this is like a hook that lets viewers know what to expect and entices them to watch further.
- **The Intro** - this tells viewers what the video is about and tease something later in the video in order to keep them watching.
- **Concept in Action** - this is like the body of the script and the main idea is to make a captivating narrative that includes a false hope moment. For a movie review script, we'll include things we liked and didn't like about the movie in this section.
- **The Golden Moment** - this is the pinnacle of the story - the main moment. The hero’s success moment. In a movie review, this could be something like the best or worst thing about the movie.
- **The Outro** - this is the ending that has a core idea or takeaway.
When writing the script, it’s important to hook viewers and keep them engaged.
**Hook viewers in every part of the video**. It’s no secret that the average person’s attention span is shorter than it used to be. In fact, a recent study showed that the average attention span is now just 8 seconds. So how do you hook viewers in the first 30 seconds of your video?

### **4. Have a strong call to action.**
**End your opening with a strong call to action that tells viewers what you want them to do next**. Whether it’s subscribing to your channel or watching another video, make it clear what you want them to do.
By following these tips, you can make sure your video gets off to a strong start and keeps viewers engaged for the whole duration.

Can I just loop the trailer footage while I do my script narration in the background? Will I get a copyright strike? Will I be allowed to monetize?
A workaround for this is finding free movie websites and screen recording chunks and scenes of the movie you will use.
Thanks. Needed this. @@TheorySmack
Love it! Those are some really great tips. This is definitely where I'd start to make my own movie review channel.
Do movie reviews have short lifespans? If you see a movie on Friday but wait to upload your review about it on Monday, do you loose ground on potential views because you didn’t upload the review opening weekend?

I agree with what you said about personality. But if you want more views and subs following their episodic structure will get you more views etc.
my real life personality is fucking boring. Please tell me what should I do about it

Do I have to be an official critic to make movie reviews on youtube?
Absolutely not

Question for your sir. First how are you doing today and how your weekend. What is the recommended camera for TH-cam.
I use a SonyA6000, it's pretty mid-tier but gets the job done.
This is mostly going to come down to personal preference.

Great in-depth, informative video bro! I watch videos like these often just as brain food to stay on my shit, thanks!
Thanks buddy! Much appreciated
May I ask how to avoid copyright claims if I want to have couple of movie clips while I'm movie review in the video thanks?
short 3 sec clips , comment on them , use mostly no audio and if with audio comment on it
1:57 idk why but I found it funny that he has seen the owl house video
thanks for all of the great advice! I'm definitely off the couch and 2 videos in so thank you for the motivation!
Good work!

Where is the chatgpt training outline?
It’s in the pinned comment
How did you create your logo?
I actually used ChatGPT to generate it and then took it to photoshop and added the background and modified the image inside the screen a bit.
What about copyright? Sorry I had to bring up that concern, do we just give credit in the description?
Hey there, I've got a whole video about avoiding copyright on my channel.
Here it is! th-cam.com/video/72vlEOPP5LM/w-d-xo.html
Here's what I do. Use at 3-7 seconds of a clip at at time. I prefer 3-5 seconds. If the scene has recognizable music. Try not to use it. You can, but be careful. Also kill the audio during that scene.
Can I show violent scenes In movie reviews and get monetized by TH-cam or is it best to cut them out of the clip?

You should check out let me explain as well.
This was very helpful. The biggest problem I have is knowing HOW to get the clips off Prime and HBO since they don’t allow screenshots or screen record. Do you have a video on that?
I use a chrome plugin called "Video Screenshot" to get all my still images.

Don’t download the movie. Use clips from the trailer on TH-cam instead.
I record my voiceovers with OBS
If you use movie clips in your reviews is that a copyright issue? People may be like the video for the movie clips. Is that a copyright violation ?
It depends, I posted a video about avoiding copyright issues, check that video out
How can I download movie on Netflix so that I can review it
I wouldn’t download it, personally
Another common video that promised instructions but gave opinions lol
1. Find your niche within the niche - be unique
2. Learn basic editing/use b-roll
3. Package the video FIRST
4. ChatGPT for scriptwriting
5. Don't over think - get started.
Tell me...how are these "just opinions"?
How do you make movie reviews with limited resources and if you're not clear how to use an editing software and you don't want to get copyrighted
Check out my other video on copyright - th-cam.com/video/72vlEOPP5LM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HNwzTtzVrGBPEI4s

I use and recommend Davinci Resolve because it's free and quite awesome.
Any pro TH-camr course i can get into targeted specifically targeted towards the movie reviews genre?
I've never known one to exist.
That said, Sean Chandler has a Patreon tier where you get one call a month with him to talk about whatever you want.

Yeah that doesn’t make any sense. Not a fan of dogging on other creators just for clicks
how to get movies to edit ?????
What do you mean?
@@TheorySmack I mean how do movie reviewers edit movies ? In my case I just use movie trailer and edit it to tell my thoughts about movie. But that is quiet limiting. Is there any other way To do it? so I could save myself front copyright and do it legally as well.
@@sh_a_nkar4135 Nah, I just use the trailers as well.
@@TheorySmack ahh thanks I am in good place then
Man i am glad i found your channel. I am curious to start a movie channel.
I'll help any way I can
@@TheorySmack thanks. I have a question about the voice overs. Can you do your own voiceovers or do you go the voiceover website to use the AI voiceovers after you erased the audio of the clip/movie film
@@dranmarks I do my own voiceovers.
I'm sort of anti-AI, lol. As a viewer, I like knowing there's a human behind the content and an AI voice is just a big turn-off for me.
@@TheorySmack excellent point. It wouldn't feel natural. Thanks for that sir
@@TheorySmack how are you doing today. I was looking at your latest episode a murder at end world episode 5 which you did an phenomenal job. I notice you using still phots than pan left, right, up, and down. How long do you have it pan for. It look like it between 5 to 7 secs per clip.
My sister and I 100% want to get into this space! This was very helpful, lots of your content brings tons of value (underrated in our opinion)
A wall we seem to hit a lot is the “no one cares about our opinion-yet” thoughts you have shared on your channel… we get so excited about movies that our ideas come off as us just talking about what we think haha
Also shorts seem to be way easier for us to come up with ideas than longer form content.
We are excited to figure it out and your ideas def get the ideas flowing 💡
I’m super stoked to hear something I put out resonated with you two!
Be careful with shorts, IMO. I think they’re fast track to tons of subs that don’t lead to much of anything really valuable. Shorts can be a PART of your strategy, but shouldn’t be a primary growth mechanism.
Best of luck to you guys! And remember, on TH-cam, a pretty insane fraction of succeeding simply comes down to consistency (which I myself have had to learn the hard way).
Just. Keep. Going.
@@TheorySmack thanks for the insight. I consistently struggle with consistency haha 100% it’s the key to TH-cam 🔑
Keep it up!
You people don't know how to show how. You give tips on AFTER.
If I ever get to close to making a review... it will totally made without any chat gpt-kind of devices...
That would ruin the whole point for me...
Used as an aid, it’s fine.
Used to write the whole thing, I agree
YOU are Incredible!!!! 👏👏🥰♥️🙏🏻♥️
How do I get both myself and the video on screen on the same time ?
You’re either going to need a green screen or just layer your camera footage on top of the other footage and adjust the size of the camera footage
I am about to start a channel and I'm so glad I found your videos! Would you be willing to chat with me via email? I've got a couple things I need suggestions on!! Thanks!
Sure!
@@TheorySmack thank you kindly!!
@@TheorySmack email sent!!! Thanks
