Actually, it's underlining for major texts (novels, films etc) and quotations for poetry, songs, articles etc (things from a larger compilation).

If you're worried just do one or the other, but don't do both, it looks tacky. Markers won't care unless you change your style across your essay - eww.

A good way to make quotes stand out is to write them in a different colour to what you write the rest in.

I do red, against blue.

OR you could just highlight them.

You have to use one colour and stick to it. Blue or Black only.

If I were to potentially get a band 6 (not that I would) but didn't because the stupid marker "missed" one, I would be blowing up for sure...but there's more than 1 marker anyway right? So it shouldn't matter too much

What happens if one of your texts if part of a series
Do you have refer to series : episode name and have it all underlined, or just episode title ?
Just want to know which is acecptable, and faster.
