1. Before you go see a film, read a review about it (you can find these on the Internet or in newspapers) Talk to a friend who has seen it. All of this prepares your mind, so that when you see the film you already know what the story is about and who the characters are, so naturally you will understand what is happening better.
2. If you are listening to someone, look at them! If you are listening to a video watch what is happening. Remember how much harder it is to understand someone on the telephone than to understand them face to face. 3. Take notes. This forces you to think about what is important and what is unimportant. Remember too, that although you may understand something when it is said, ten minutes later you might have forgotten it. This is vitally important when taking academic classes; you will be tested on material from lectures that happened weeks or months ago.
