Marriage Story (2019) is a beautiful film that encapsulates the hardships of, well, marriage. Below is a short clip from the film. This film is categorized in both Drama and Romance.  I would like you to watch this clip and defend ONE of those two genres for this scene. I understand that a film is the sum of its parts, but try to examine this scene from both genres and argue which side it leans more into. Your response should be AT LEAST one paragraph.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDFdroN7d0w

Grease (1978) is a tremendous film that has been debated for years. Below is a short clip from the film. This film is categorized in both Musicals and Romance.  I would like you to watch this clip and defend ONE of those two genres for this scene. I understand that a film is the sum of its parts, but try to examine this scene from both genres and argue which side it leans more into. Your response should be AT LEAST one paragraph. (If arguing for the musical genre, you need more than “she is singing”!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU_pcU6AFPQ

Below is a clip from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (1966). We discussed this film in our Western lecture. Please detail what kind of Western film this falls under, and what elements from this shot lead the viewer to the Western genre. Hint: Clint Eastwood stars in this movie and he travelled to Italy to film it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwdypLFy8Pk&list=PLYhREcq3PbZ8duNVstBQ_0jnHC1ffxJfu&index=19
