How To: Home Movie Theater


Hey guys! So today I will be teaching you how to create your own home movie theater that's quick and easy. This is perfect to do with friends and family on the weekend and over the summer. I did this quite a few times and had a blast. We even did fun themes, for my younger cousins, that went along with the movie we planned on watching that nights. It's really simple and well worth it.

What you'll need:



  • white sheet
  • thumb tacks
  • projector
  • DVD player
  • movie


Steps:

  1. Find the place where you'd like to set up the screen
  2. Use thumb tacks to keep the sheet in place (make sure to keep it tight if it's outside so that it doesn't move with the wind)
  3. Connect the projector to the DVD player
  4. Insert the movie
  5. Move the projector around until it's in the desired place
  6. Enjoy!
I have also seen this done with PVC pipes holding the sheet up. This alternate form does appear to take a little bit more work, but I think it would still be a hundred percent worth it if you had no place to tack it up.
I hope you guys enjoyed this how to and that it comes in handy some day!

A Little Bit About Me

Hi, I’m Esmeralda but you can call me Esme. I’m currently a sophomore in high school who is really just a normal, kinda boring girl. I enjoy reading, listening to music and watching movies and spend most of my time doing one of those things. My favorite book is probably The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and even though it's pretty mainstream, it really is a great book that made me cry, a lot. My music range isn't very eclectic, but I'm open to listening to anything at least once. Although I do spend quite a lot of time listening to music and reading, I spend about 80% of my time watching movies whether it's with my family and friends or by myself at 2 o'clock in the morning. My number one movie would have to be The Goonies because who doesn’t love a good truffle shuffle?  I chose to make my blog about movies because I love to submerge myself in all the unique stories they tell. Like music, I believe that movies have the ability to alter one's emotions and can be used to escape reality by immersing yourself in the life of the characters. If you couldn't tell by the title of my blog, which is a referencing Disney's Mike's Super Short Show that did exactly what I intend on doing. I'll be talking about upcoming movies since I for one am very excited about some movie that will be coming out in the next few years. I may also be posting reviews and also comparing the movie to the book since I  always seem to be analyzing the movie versions for any mistakes they may have made. I hope you enjoy!
