INTRODUCTION

"Have you ever wanted to go behind the scenes during the production of your favorite movie? Did you ever envision yourself putting together a new concept or a masterpiece that would put Steven Spielberg to shame? Have you ever dreamed of directing or even starring in your very own film?"

We want to make your visions and dreams a reality. We believe that there are still hundreds of brilliant minds that are not yet known and millions that will never be discovered. Work, Creativity and ideas play a major part in our society. Why not express and show off your talents today? It doesn't matter how old or young someone may be (we accept all ages here at Movie Reels.) Everyone is unique and special in their own way and because of that everyone's work, creativity, ideas and thoughts will differ. Here at Movie Reels we combine those attributes to create a "friendly" internet environment that all can enjoy. Please spare a few minutes of your time to read over our (Rules) to better understand how this site operates. With a better understanding of our forum you will come to appreciate the experience ahead of you that is only a few short mouse clicks away. Thanks for your patience and we hope your time here is a good one!

HOW TO PLAY

Important Note: It is very important that you read through everything slowly and carefully. Everything you need to know about this website is organized into different sections below. It is vital that you don't skip over any of the sections and that you read through each part. Thank You.

What can you do at Movie Reels? As a member of Movie Reels you are presented with several ways in which you can enjoy our site. Please note that you are not forced to become either a Director or Critic: you can do as much work in either one or both fields as you like.

Movie Director

What you need to know...

#1.) Become a Director - Create your very own masterpiece with either a screenplay or a filmed movie. We have all of the necessary tools for you to accomplish your vision. Watch as your film opens at our movie theater, 'Cine-Plex Theaters'. How will your film do? Will it be a huge success or a total flop? View the weekly 'Box Office' to see where your film places among other films as well as information on how many tickets have been sold.

Create Your Movie Preview - Once you've chosen the position of a movie director you can now begin to get the word out on any upcoming projects/films you have planned. It's always great to see new films on Movie Reels and by showing what you have to offer you can now entice people to see your film and at the same time offer great promotion on your behalf.

When you become a director for Movie Reels you are presented with all of these options. You have the option to either write your movie in a screenplay/script format or to actually film it. You can choose to promote your film with theatrical trailers or television commercial spots. The director who becomes Director of the Month will be awarded four extra weeks of runtime for use with future films.

#3.) Putting together your film- All directors are given two options in which they can release their films. The first option you are given is to release your film as a screenplay/script that everyone can read. To do this you must have a word document--for an example "Microsoft Word". Write out all your entire screenplay or script and make sure to save it. Once you've finished writing you can proceed to *(step #4). The other and more popular option in which you can release your film is to actually film it. To do this you must have a video camera and proper connections such as a USB cord. If you have any questions regarding this option please ask in the Movie Reels Help Desk where we will give you a fast and speedy response to your problem. Once you've finished filming your movie--you are now ready to turn it in. Proceed to (step #4) for the details.

#4.) Submitting your film- To submit your film, click on the following link:

-------------------------------

#2.) Become a Movie Critic- A movie critic is a very important aspect/job when it comes to judging a particular film. To be a good movie critic you will need to write detailed reviews, giving clear examples of what you like or do not like in a film, as well as giving the writer advice on what to improve in their future work. It is also helpful if you include a score for the film at the end of your review, based on a ratings scale of your choosing (for example, a score out of four, out of ten or a simple thumbs up or thumbs down), but this is not essential.

-------------------------------

The Box Office

Once you've submitted your film--you are now ready to take it to Cine-Plex Theaters.

What happens now? When your film opens in Cine-Plex Theaters you are now ready to experience a real life atmosphere of what a "Movie Director" must sit back and watch. Just like in real life, people will purchase tickets to see your film. Your film will remain in the Cine-Plex for eight weeks, after which it will experience a down-time period of six weeks. After this, your film will be moved to the Movies channel in the TV board to be viewed freely. You cannot sell tickets for the film at this point, but people are still free to review your work.
