I am....como se dice....stressed

   When my group and I had initially learned about this project months in advance, we wanted to do a fantasy/adventure opening about three young girls of color going on an adventure in the forest. We wanted to do this because we had always seen movies and shows about young boys going on adventures, but never girls. Pieces such as The Goonies (1985) and Stranger Things (2016) focus on a group of boys, most of which are white, solving a mystery; with the help of a girl or two. Our main goal with this would have been to represent both girls and people of color.

   However, as time progressed, we decided to scratch that idea. This was decided after our music video project, where we filmed the entire thing outdoors in a park. Because it was outside, there were too many variables we could not control and we did not want to go through that again for our final project. We want this to be perfect. Back to the drawing board.......
