Reaction Paper
Order Description
Reaction Papers: You are required to write one short reaction papers of two pages in length. Reaction papers ask for your personal reactions to the films. In preparing your papers, you should NOT consult secondary sources (i.e., film reviews, film scholarship). The point of these assignments is for you to actively engage with the film. You may begin with a “gut” reaction (i.e., how did the film make you feel), but you should also try to intellectualize your feelings (i.e., why does the film—either in terms of filmmaking style or plot— make you feel this way?). A reaction paper should NOT be a summary of the plot, nor simply your emotional reaction to the films. We want you to think about subtle levels of meaning. You should also take into consideration issues of film technique, narrative style, and cultural codes.
