Wanted to add another setting/location shot. The first picture of my backyard is where the final scene will take place, but this is the street where all the running is happening.
Ethnic groups are gaining more representation in media. Minorities, especially African Americans, have received more roles in film in the past years. More black roles in film make a dent in the racial stereotypes that have been built for decades due to racism. And not just supporting roles, but main roles with characters who embrace their race and culture and inspire other young black kids to be proud of themselves and to strive for similar accomplishments. African Americans have mainly been displayed as the "thugs" or the "black best friend" or the character who usually dies first, but things have slowly been changing for the better, and directors have been called out for their lack of diversity in casting. image credits: vulture.com
Part of my convention research included watching a movie I knew well to pick up on conventions. I also did more research on the different types of conventions, like form conventions. Form conventions are the swag people expect a piece of media to be formatted, like putting a title at the beginning of a movie and the credits at the end. Story conventions are similar, in that are key things everyone expects to be in a story, like character change. What I researched last time was just genre conventions, but this time I was able to find out that theres more available. https://helveticamediuma.com/learn/media-conventions/
I’ve been watching some short films on YouTube that are done by amateurs. I wanted to really get a feel of interesting plots and also camera shots. https://youtu.be/89ShshtCVYQ https://youtu.be/IcnBB5p3JIM
