Step 2: Watch The Story and Break It Into Segments

The first time you watch the movie you have two goals:

1. 
   Learn the story and get to know the characters
   
2. 
   Break the movie up into segments
   

Watch the movie all the way through with your native language subtitles on. Learn the story and get to know each character’s personality. This way you can just enjoy the movie itself, so the story doesn’t “get in your way” of using it for language learning later.

Also, at the same time take out a notebook and pen to write down time markers for short segments of the story. You’re looking for scenes of around five to ten minutes that are fairly self-contained, plot-wise.
