Pick one scene that impressed you most from the film assigned for the week. Explain how and why that particular scene is impressive to you. Refer to the assigned reading of the week and think about how your argument is related to it. Include the image(s) from the scene in your journal. The expression of your paper needs to be clear (correct grammar; clear meanings of words). Your argument needs to have a structure (introduction, explanation, conclusion).
In addition, separately from your argument on the scene, write down the keyword from the lecture, which the instructor gives during the pre-recorded lecture. Then, briefly explain the reason in one sentence why that is the keyword of the lecture. (“The keyword is XXX because ….”) You do not need to repeat exactly what the instructor says. Use your own words to explain.
