Today, my group members and I decided to work on the character base. Although we never decided what type of film we wanted to do, we believe we can create a film based on the cast's talents. If we want a modern film, the cast should be culturally diverse to represent all people and break down certain stereotypes. All of us come from different backgrounds. For example, our group consists of Colombians and Venezuelans. We believe we can incorporate elements such as food or culture into the film opening.
We gained inspiration through the show Orange is The New Black, in which there has been controversy yet they have broken social barriers. This article has shown some of the pros and cons of the show. A controversial film brings attention to certain issues in society, such as this commercial from Cheerios and this Disney movie which includes diverse sexual orientations. These movies have been promoted on social media as innovative or problematic, however these elements appeal to movie critics who want to form their own opinions.
About three weeks ago, my group filmed a music video for our music marketing project, in which we discovered we had fun filming at the beach at night as it involves a tranquil yet hectic setting. Aside from our characters, the next time we meet we will find a perfect location to film in the greater South Florida area.
