    If you don't like to watch films in the theatre, try to make a" home theatre"! Here are some tips for you to prepare your space and get ready!

    Choose a space for your" home theatre" But it should be a space where you can watch a film undisturbed for a few hours. Ideally, it should be a quiet space with curtains that allow you to block out light. Your bedroom could also work as your" home theatre". Watching a film in your bed is a super comfortable option.

Set up a TV, projector, or computer. Of course, your "home theatre" will need a screen to display your film. However, if you are enjoying a film alone, you can watch directly from your computer or tablet.

    A good view of the screen is the key to enjoying a film. Make sure the chairs and couches are positioned for a great view. Sitting too close to the screen is bad for your eyes while sitting too far away can make it difficult to see. If you are watching a film with others, make sure that everyone can get a good view from different spots.

    Dim the lights. If you want to have a better experience of watching films at home, a dark environment is important. Don't forget to turn off or dim your overhead lights and lamps, and close curtains if it's light outside.

    Light and sounds from a phone can be extremely distracting. Turn off or silence your phone, and have others do the same. One good idea is to have your fellow film watchers place their phones in a bowl in the centre of the room. The first one to take his or her phone during the film has to pay for everyone's drinks and snacks for the rest of the night.

A. This means you have to separate a room as a "home theatre".

B. Flat screen TVs work best for areas with bright light, like a living room.

C. Turn phones off

D. Create a quiet environment and keep silent.

E. Now everything is ready! Go and enjoy your film!

F. This doesn't have to be a room specially used to watch films.

G. Move furniture for the best viewing experience, if necessary.
