01 Share a reaction
Start without scoring: each person chooses an image, sound or reaction. Check everyone finished before discussing the ending. For beginners a concrete question works better than total interpretation: where were you placed relative to a character, and when did that change?
02 Support a reading
Separate observation from interpretation: “the camera stays in the corridor” describes a visible choice; “we are excluded” proposes a reading. Two viewers can use the same shot differently. In disagreement find a precise scene rather than unsourced claims about intent. Site collections supply shared comparison questions.
03 Consult a reference
Extend discussion with one resource: edition entry, interview or analysis. Check author, date and scope before using it as an argument. With Rashomon compare accounts; with 12 Angry Men compare evidence and assumption. Entry sources verify facts; exercises remain editorial proposals.
