Fargo Reflection

 Fargo Reflection

I have learned lots of necessary and needed information from these responses. It is not a helpful decision to take notes based off random observations in the clip, this could affect my writing in my actual response. I also learned that I should not start my response and then restart it. I need to make sure there is no absence of discussion of certain scenes and interactions in the film and there is no confusion of terms and my sections aren’t too brief. I need to make sure I do not miss the tone and potential significance of certain aspects of character development, I need good descriptions, points, and examples. I learned that I should be well prepared for the exam, strategic, use examples of camera movement, angle, framing, etc., take good and detailed notes, and be descriptive and relevant.
