In your film response, you will write 3 full paragraphs (5-7 sentences minimum per paragraph). You may consider any of the following questions in your response. You are not expected to answer all of them. I would say that you should not attempt to answer more than 3 of these in 3 paragraphs, and that it’s also completely acceptable to just focus on one question for all three paragraphs. Many of the questions overlap with one another (or are different versions of similar questions), so often if you are answering one in depth, you will also be answering others.
