How to use Letterboxd, movie social network? l6q6q

Before knowing about how to use the Letterboxd, it is appropriate, at first, to explain what this platform is. In a very practical and direct way, the Letterboxd can be considered the filmow from the gringa, that is, a social network about films in which the catalogs the feature films watched throughout their journey in audiovisual life. There are some series, miniseries and animes present in the huge catalog as well, but the focus is directed to the movies. 5f5yp

Like any good social network of contemporary times, it is essential that there is a box of review to leave your opinion about a certain assisted product, after all, we are in the time when everyone knows something about something, even if they don't know anything. Anyway, in addition to analyses, it is also possible to create, view and favorite movie lists — don't be fooled, their diversity is as great as that of the catalog itself, which, in a certain way, rekindles that feeling of spending hours at the video store in the 90s looking for a decent movie.

But hey, I'm not that kind of nostalgic person, so without further ado, let's see how to use Letterboxd.

Well, the first thing you must have realized is that no, there is no Letterboxd in Portuguese, at least for a while. Who knows, with the amount of Brazilians, Portuguese, Angolans, Cape Verdeans and the like present on the platform, the situation won't change in a while? In the meantime, let's explore the english, which is what we have for today. Another important detail is that creating the is free; there is a plan upgrade with some advantages, but it is not mandatory.

Creating an 1l6x2j

Basic functions 365n6m

4 - It's no use doing all this if you're not going to add any friends, movies or lists. ing that you may not have friends and still use the network to record movies, but not using them for any of the aforementioned purposes is a little weird. Well, each one is each one! The most basic thing here is to add a movie. To do this, go to the green button in the upper right corner of the screen. Once that's done, just type the name (in English) of the movie.

5 - With the movie of your choice searched and selected, another inert window will appear. In it, you can choose the day you watched (or rewatched) the movie [in purple]; whether to add a public review for it [in red]; Tags that represent this analysis and the film itself [in light blue]; the score measured in stars, ranging from 0 to 5 [in green]; if you liked it enough to put it on a specific list [in pink]; and if there are spoilers in review [in yellow]. After all that, just click on Save.

6 - In the next step on how to use Letterboxd, we have the function of following someone. She is quite simple and similar to what happens on twitter; there isn't a list of friends, so to speak, but rather a list of people you've decided to follow and other people who follow you. With this, you choose the updates you will receive. To see them, just click on Network in the profile or in the list of Followers e Following.

7 - At the bottom of the profile you will find stats of everything you've done there. For example, if you chose to mark the days you saw the movies, they will appear in a list in chronological order. In addition, a chart with how many stars you have given to each movie will also be present, as well as your activity for the week. It should look, to some extent, like this:

8 - By clicking on Edit Profile, you will miraculously edit your profile. That means ing an avatar, changing its description, reordering your favorite movies, adding a website and even choosing your pronouns. Point for inclusion! Favorites are limited to four feature films at a time, so don't be discouraged if you can't put them all in, cycle through the movies you like the most.

9 - Perhaps you have noticed, there in the image of the step 6, that there are several pages besides Network to explore. Instead of dedicating an exclusive time to each and repeating things that have already been shown, I thought it more appropriate to make an overview of what each page shows and/or what it is for, in order to help how to use Letterboxd.

• P it's your profile, where you can see all the movies and how other people find you on the movie social network;
• Activity: the activity shows not only everything you've done or recorded, but also all the activities of those you follow, like liking a review, adding a movie to a list, etc.;

Interacting with the community 5o2q1a

10 - When you open a movie page through the step 4 or for just having fallen there unawares, you will see that the layout is divided into a smoked image of the film at the top center, the poster on the left side, a brief synopsis followed by details of casting, production and technical curiosities and, finally, on the right, the options from the list of the step 5, but smaller. Scrolling down the page will show your friends' activities related to that movie and the most popular reviews.

11 - On the home page, when you scroll down, you can also see which reviews the people you follow are enjoying on the movie social network. If you thought Twitter got unpopular with the showdown tool, likes na timeline alien, think again. And that the next time you enjoy something of dubious origin.

12 - Even further down, you'll be able to see new lists that people you follow have created, as well as their likes on other lists of the genre. This is very interesting if you want to follow the films with a friend… or enemy, since you can just watch, watch the same productions and not record anything, just like our colleague Joe, from you.

13 - In the next step of the list of how to use Letterboxd, we have the news! Yes, every self-respecting platform has at least a few loose pieces of headlines to attract casual readers, and this one is no different. There's an entire section devoted to the coned words that make us shiver with rage, froth with rage or smile with resignation on a daily basis, but at least here it's all related to the audiovisual world, so it can't be too bad. Or can it? Anyway, it is worth ing that unfortunately We still don't have Letterboxd in Portuguese, so it's all in English.

14 - Last but not least, we have a specific page dedicated to posting news, podcasts, newsletters and that kind of privileged information created by and for the community. It is possible to choose between technical curiosities, news of a certain director or cinematographic universe, insides of producers and much more.

15 - Well, the famous players (still use that terminology?) are also present in our not-so-concise list on how to use Letterboxd. This is because the platform guarantees three plans: the Free, Pro and Patron, each with more advantages than the previous one. Of course, more expensive too. The second costs forty-nine reais a year, while the third costs one hundred and twenty-nine reais a year. It's not exactly expensive, but that depends on your reality too.

The Pro plan offers pages of stats personalized, both in the annual period and in the total period of the registrations, integration with the service JustWatch for the platform to notify you when a movie of Watchlist get to one of streams indicated, change of name and others. On the other hand, Patron offers all this plus your name on a specific page and be beta-tester of the news, as well as customization for the background of the profile page.
