Interracial Relationship Sequence
There will be changes made
Sequence 1 – For the introduction the viewers will first see images of interracial relationships from the past. 10 seconds into the introduction there will be a narrative voice-over explaining a little of the history of interracial relationships and how it first became public while still showing the images. The images introduction will be 20 to 30 seconds long.
Sequence 2 - The viewers will meet person “A”. The director will first ask a question to person “A” about how she met her partner and how they came about.
- (10 seconds into person “A” talking the camera will cut into old photographs of person “A” and her partner together.)
Sequence 3 – The viewers will then be introduces to person “B” in her home discussing how she met her partner and how they came about also.
- (Hopefully the viewers will be able to see her around her environment and get a glimpse into what she does through-out the day.)
- (Some of these clips involving the interviewees will probably be played between the interviewers also)
Sequence 4 - The director will then go out and hit the streets of Memphis asking strangers about how they feel about interracial relationships (negative responses.)
The Negative
Sequence 5 - The viewers will finally meet person “C”. The director will ask person “C” is it different being with someone from another race. Discuss briefly.
- (10 seconds onto person “C” talking there will be photographs showing of the couple. While the photographs are being shown person “C” will continue [over voices] talking about her situation.)
Sequence 6 – For person “B” the director will ask her do you think it is hard for a black female to be in a relationship with a white male than a black male being with a white female. Explain and examples.
- (The viewers will see person “B” explaining her reaction to the question.)
Sequence 7 - The camera will cut onto person “A” explaining the same question that was ask for person “B”
- (10 seconds into person “A” talking the camera will cut into photographs hopefully relating to what their talking about.)
- (I would hopefully like to give brief examples like: Athletes, etc)
Sequence 8 - The viewers will hopefully see a heating moment with all three women when asked were there any negative aspects when it came to being in a relationship with someone outside of their race. What were some of the stories and why.
- (The viewers will then see and hear what happen, why, and true feelings of that past moment.)
Sequence 9 - The director will then go out and hit the streets of Memphis asking strangers again about how they feel about interracial relationships. (positive responses)
The Positive
Sequence 10 - the viewers will see person “A”, she will be asked where is her relationship with her partner standing right now, are they happy, & maybe was it all worth it at the end. Discuss.
Sepquence 11 - The same question will be asked of persons “B” & “C”.
Sequences 12 - After their responses the conclusion will show the viewers all three women sitting or standing next to their partner (Basically slowing the viewers that their in love and this is who they are). This will cut onto photographs of the interracial couples that were interview (& other couples) and during that there will be soft music, hopefully relating to the topic, being played with also a voice over explaining to viewers about the present time of interracial relationships and being open-minded to the situation.
