The VVitch

 Your prompt will ask you to answer key questions

• What is this film trying to depict to its audience? What genre is this film, and how is it attempting to get its audience invested? Do you find this effective, why or why not?
• How accurately do you feel this film conveys the sense of being involved in this historical period and events? As works of fiction, these movies have different genres (horror, musical, drama). Does this choice of genre work to reflect real events and the mood of the time period depicted?
• What, if anything, was left out in this depiction? Your assigned chapters and nonfiction videos will go into detail on the specifics of the relevant historical era and its conflicts. Did the film miss out on any important information it should have covered? How would you have liked to see that additional context or information represented in the film?

A good baseline is to expect to write at least 5 long paragraphs for each response. Additional length might be necessary in order to include your full responses to the prompts. Please include specific examples of moments from the films that are relevant to what you are talking about, as well as specific information from historical sources. You do not need to use formal citations, but I need to see that you are able to accurately recount the contents of the films, videos, and chapters in order to effectively respond to the prompts.
