Tips on how to write a reaction paper to a documentary The following guidelines will assist you in planning how to write a reaction paper to a documentary. When told to choose a documentary to review, always go for something that you like and would be interested in watching. Avoid documentaries with complicated plots and stories that are difficult to understand. Watch the documentary and take notes You can only be able to write a review or response to a documentary when you understand all its elements, contents and message. Therefore, it is always advisable that you watch the documentary more than once in order to properly digest it and know what it is all about. While watching the documentary, it is advisable to treat it more like a story or a letter. Note down some of the striking features of the film, like characters, scenes, messages and how they are relayed. As you take notes, try to formulate arguments, make comparisons between the elements to be able to properly get the context. Identify the focus of your review The basis of a reaction paper is to present your opinion or thoughts about the documentary. However, these should be backed by examples or evidence from the film. Academic papers require that you identify a particular angle to pursue in writing, which will be the basis of the paper. You need to come up with an idea based on how the documentary touched you. In case you felt it was good, give a reason with evidence to support that claim. The same should also be applied to when you are in disagreement with the material. When identifying the focus of your paper do not simply look at the documentary, instead, compare it with your general knowledge, other films on the same subject and even comments from experts in that field. You can also relate the documentary to your personal experiences. Please keep in mind: a good response paper should be focused on a unique perspective that is outstanding from the documentary. Determine the elements to discuss After identifying the direction to pursue in responding to the documentary, you should move into collecting points and evidence to support it. Based on the aspect that you intend to discuss in the review, gather sufficient points that are striking from the film to use in proving your reaction. For every key point that you identify, also acquire examples or evidence from the documentary to use in proving it. All the elements that you pick should connect back to the focus of the paper and effectively evaluate your response and purpose of writing. You can also do some research to find out more about the points to discuss in order to present a logical and compelling review. Be specific in choosing the elements to discuss for clarity. For every point, identify about two or three examples to support it. Create an outline An outline is a simple plan showing how you intend to present the review. It should briefly highlight the introduction, body and conclusion of the paper. The purpose of the outline is to provide you with a ‘blueprint’ of the paper and easy reference when writing. Steps on how to write a reaction paper to a documentary Just like other academic papers, a response paper should follow a particular writing format. The following procedures will direct you on how to write a reaction paper to a documentary. Introduce the paper Begin by giving a brief and accurate summary of the documentary in the opening statements of the paper. On this part, you should include basic information about the piece, including its title, producer, characters, and date of screening among other key elements. You should also briefly describe the position of the producer of the documentary. The reactions to the contents of the work should be reserved for the subsequent paragraphs. Evaluate the documentary This should make up the bulk of the paper, and present a comprehensive evaluation of the documentary. This section highlights the body paragraphs and should clearly indicate that you have watched and understood the context of the film. Every paragraph should properly establish and explain your position or response to the documentary, backed with evidence and examples. Devote every paragraph to a particular idea and a few related evidences. Your stance can be supportive or opposed to the view of the producer of the film. However, it has to be well discussed in a way that readers can read and understand even without watching the documentary. Write the conclusions The final paragraph of a response paper should present a summary of your position on the piece. This can be achieved through restating the focus of the paper and the key points that are discussed in the body paragraphs. Remember that the conclusion should just be short and not open a fresh discussion. Avoid introducing a new idea in the conclusion since that would confuse readers and alter the flow of ideas in the paper.
