Final film project outline

Pitch: An art film that highlights how skin tone and individual fashion choices help people embrace their culture.
Concept/story: nonlinear concept revealing how one’s choices in presentation reflect a certain culture.
Goal: Demonstrate how different people embrace their skin and how they accessorize their person in accordance to their culture and sense of individuality. Audience should end up with new perspectives of the role skin tone plays in not only embracing one’s culture, but their personal identity.
Intended length: 1 minute
Who/What/Where/When/How:
1. Where: stairwell by cafeteria provides ample space and lighting + gives us the opportunity to approach subjects
2. Who: we will select specific individuals (diverse) on their way to or from the cafeteria who are willing to participate
3. When: weekday afternoons, when students are most likely to be in cafeteria
4. How: use of two cameras/ two angles at once (Canon 7d, Canon 5d). Will need to rent out tripods and lighting equipment.

These videos feature empowering shots of subjects that feel vulnerable and intimate. Our film will not feature a spoken narrative as both of these videos do through audio and text.
5. Roles: Bebe will focus on post-production, while Izzy and Ximena work on renting equipment and filming.
6. Audio: Our video will feature instrumental music that will occasionally synchronize with the images.
