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

Image
Ethnic groups are gaining more representation in media. Minorities, especially African Americans, have received more roles in film in the past years.

Reflection #4

So, most of them started like with a car scene or with the main character, you know, waking up and starting their day so I tried to imitate that to use, I tried to use those conventions for my own film and I also tried to strive away and make it a little more mysterious in the end of the opening to set up a good overall plot. So, it's not just coming of age but something a little different to add something interesting to the beginning of the film that would be further progressed later in the film, so that's how I tried to kind of challenge the convention of a film opening.
