So Shreya and I met this week to discuss the specifics of our production because we really want to get the ball rolling next week (crossing our fingers that we will be prepared enough to start filming). Early on we decided that the excerpt that we choose to do should be the first five minutes of an episode, not something from the middle of the show or near the end. We just felt that this would be the best path forward for us because it would allow us to do so many different things creatively. After really fleshing out the gist of each of our episodes (news alert we've planned for there to be 5, following our teacher's advice to have an odd number of episodes) we decided that the best way to start is from the very beginning, the first episode, so we don't have to worry about context for the other episodes.
The general structure that we have so far is:
intro- 20-30 secs
History of recent immigrant communities in America (brief)- 2-3 mins
interview #1- 1 min
interview#2- 1min
^interspersed with graphics and maybe animation(simple canva)
We aren't really sure which interviews we are doing yet but we have some ideas. One idea that I had that kind of changes who we are going to interview is that we should interview younger people like teenagers and young adults to see how their identity is maybe different than that of their parents or grandparents. This would make the production more relatable to the target audience.
