We were briefly considering trying to include a lot of different people's immigrant experiences during different time periods. Our reasoning was that we could show how people who have been in America for longer/shorter have connected to their communities without physically being there. We soon realized that this was getting wayyyyyyy off topic and it wasn't our original idea of exploring how gen z is affected by having a complex identity as the most multi cultural generation in history. We decided to let it go and let the past be. However we are still including a bit of history in our excerpt because we feel that this is a great way to provide context for the documentary.
We know that our interviews aren't going to cover this topic so we will have to do some kind of voiceover interspersed with b roll or archived footage of our subject's family immigrating to the United States. We are also going to try to use Canva to make animated graphics and graphics to visually represent what we are saying in the voice over and keep the production visually engaging. The voice over has to be engaging as well and I've been critiqued for my unenthused voice before so I'm not sure I'm up to the task. I think we should think about outsourcing this part of the project to a friend or someone we know with a good speaking voice.
