BRAINSTORM STRUCTURE FOR DOCUMENTARY

The entire duration of the documentary is 10-15 minutes. I intend to break down the beginning middle and end of the documentary in order to fit this criteria. The beginning of the documentary will act as an introduction in to the topic of SHADISM. How it started with racism between the blacks and the whites in terms of slavery and how it progressed into segregation in the community between the black race and how it has effected people.
The middle will serve to voice the opinions of people who have seen the effect of the topic on there people and what they have done or intend to do to ensure the people around them refrain from such a way of thinking. Followed by more archive footage of pictures of things that this kind of segregation has led to, including in the entertainment industry and how famous people have a hold on their audience and there decisions strongly affect the community. Finally, it will be the final two interviews. These interviewees will be giving there experiences first hand with the issue and how it has greatly affected there way of thinking and their self esteem.
The end will act as a sum up of the documentary. It will consist of archive footage and images showing the audience what SHADISM has made of this generation. Clips and videos of the stereotypes in action. Followed by roaming footage of different areas in London accompanied by my voice over in the background summing up the documentary, urging the masses to cease and desist in this ignorant behaviour. Finally, I will make my first an only appearance in the documentary, over looking my city as the camera fades to black.

BEGINNING

ARCHIVE FOOTAGE

*VOICE OVER*
IMAGES
Pictures of faces of different black people fading into one another.
MUSIC
Instrumental version to either the choir version or the original version of true colours by Phil Collins.

MIDDLE
Interviews
Valentino and Tasha.
These two people are black activists, they are also college students who are keen on Black history so they know about the past and are appalled at the present. By stereotype are considered Dark Skinned people, they will talk about their views on the issue and analyse how they see it has affected them and our community.
Onome, Alex and Nadine
These three people are college students, racial profiling will put them in the Light skinned category. They will be speaking on the same things as the activists mentioned above.
The objective of this series of interviews is to see exactly how different the two categories are in terms of opinion as they differ  in skin colour.
Vox Pops interviews
Footage from my vox pops interviews will be shown to voice more opinions.
Followed by a one minute intersession of more images of people who have taken to skin lightening in order to fit the criteria, accompanied by an instrumental of cross roads by bone thugs and harmony, with a voice over, discussing what the images are about and how shadism has left people defacing Gods work because they don't fit the bill of what the media has seemed to define as beauty.
Interviews part 2
The final two interviews by Shakirah and Tannah will be about how Shadism has affected them and there self esteem, what it has led them to do, how they cope with it and their words to the audience.

END
Archive Footage
This last bit of the documentary will consist of clips and images of offensive shadism stereotypes in action. And more serious the negative effects of shadism.
Actual Footage
This will be roaming footage of London, accompanied by a voice over and the instrumental to changes by Tupac
