Quarantine Culture Report Assignment | Essay Help Services

In these challenging times, our viewing practices and strategies have changed significantly. For this assignment, I want you to reflect on how the quarantine has shifted your relationship to media, in particular with film and television.

Write about a current release (distributed in 2020) that you have watched on Netflix.

Here are SUBJECT AREAS for you to consider, as you write your Quarantine Culture Reportt. Please do write about each of these subjects, though you do not need to answer every single question. Your report shall be at least three full pages of text, double-spaced, with 12-point text. Use MLA format, please.

BEFORE THE MOVIE
Did you do any research about the film/TV show before watching it? If so, what did you read? Had you seen the trailer? What impression did it leave on you? If this is a television series, where does this episode fall in the season? Are you familiar with the show, or is it your first time watching it? If you did not do research about the film/TV show, nor watch the trailer, what drew you to watch it?
PLEASE NOTE: Make sure to cite any outside text, if you reference it.

Engage with the film/television show. Which elements made a special impression on you? How did the director use film techniques to create a meaningful work? How did it affect your emotions? If the film was successful for you, describe why—if the film did not succeed for you, describe why. Did the director challenge your beliefs, or reinforce them? What does the film offer to the viewer? Was there anything in the visual style you found innovative or exciting?
Engage in a brief analysis of the film according to one of the theories we have explored in class (e.g. formalism, semiotics, ideology, psychoanalysis, postmodernism, representational analysis, the gaze, feminism, queer theory, spectacle/commodity fetishism, globalization, and/or postcolonial theory).

AFTER THE MOVIE
Did you do any research about the film/TV show after watching it? If so, what did you read? Did you agree with the reviews? Did you talk about the film/TV show with friends (roommates in person, or friends online/texting/calling)? Did anyone alter your impression of the film/TV show?
Please note: Make sure to cite any outside text, if you reference it.
