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 with their culture and sense of individuality. The audience should end up with new perspectives on 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:
Where: stairwell by cafeteria provides ample space and lighting + gives us the opportunity to approach subjects
Who: we will select specific individuals (diverse) on their way to or from the cafeteria who are willing to participate
When: weekday afternoons, when students are most likely to be in the cafeteria
How: use of two cameras/ two angles at once (Canon 7d, Canon 5d). Will need to rent out tripods and lighting equipment.

Roles: Bebe will focus on post-production, while Izzy and Ximena work on renting equipment and filming.

Audio: Our video will feature instrumental music that will occasionally synchronize with the images.
