2/23 Plot For My Project

Interracial Dating:

For my plot I want to talk about the positives and negatives aspect of dating outside a race. It will be located in Memphis in present time. In the beginning I will show pictures (and maybe video clips) of interracial couples from the past and present with a voice over of explaining the history of interracial dating. I will interview four interracial couples separately showing their enivornment a little at the beginning and through out the film asking questions. For example how they meet their partner, was it hard dating outside their race, were their conflicts when it came to introducing their partner to their friends, family, and the rest of the world, was everything worth it, etc. I would also like to interview young and old people who are not (or are) involve in interracial dating by asking them one question, "how do they feel about interracial couples and why?". Some negative and positive. In between the interviews I would want to show some video clips and photos of what relates to the couples story of their situation. At the end of the film the couples will finally be sitting next to each other explaining where are they now with their lives as a interracial couple and are they happy.

Unconventional Short Response

Woody Allen "Manhattan"
From what I seen from the Woody Allen film, "Manhattan", I like the fact that every scene and conversations are funny but has a romance twist to it. Example the "someone to watch over me" song in the background, showing a lot of "couples" scene with him talking to the ladies and true black and white which gives it an more effect. I notices in Woody framing he shows wide shots techniques for the beginning of the film by showing the New York view when talking about the city and over the shoulders and bust shots when talking to his characters in the film.
