4. Presentation & Interview. My topic is Blacks This assignment is:
PROJECT REQUIREMENTS SEE OVERVIEW & GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: Your Power Point or Google Slides presentation should consist of approximately 10-12 slides, that include these elements:HIGHLIGHT PROJECT FOCUS GROUPIdentify the group youre focusing on for your project with HIGHLIGHTS of their contributions/recent portrayals in film, hot button issues, recent news, etc.; INCLUDE: WHY you chose this group? (Blacks)
FIRST STEP: Project Selection The first step of this assignment involves selecting your focus group (Blacks)
HISTORICAL CHALLENGES: Discuss/Address specific to their fair representation. Again
research is required.
STATISTICS & DATA: Highlight recent stats and data about your groups representation/under-representation on screen, behind the lens (directors, writers, producers), etc. This is one of the areas in which your research will be important.Included in this module is the recent UCLA Diversity Hollywood Diversity Report. (attached) It doesnt cover all of the groups, but gives an idea of some of the type of research and data available. You will need to look for articles, videos and other relevant sources of information to support this section of your presentation. 2 important things about research: (1) Wikipedia is not a valid source; (2) You need to cite your sources. There is more helpful information about research at Step 2: Research & Data. attached
10-15 MINUTE INDUSTRY INSIDER INTERVIEW This component of the presentation is the major reason I have been alerting you early on about the importance of identifying a person to interview. The idea is to conduct a brief interview with an industry professional or someone who preferably works, represents or can give voice to ways to accomplish diversity and greater representation for your presentation group. Consider your resources and who might be a good candidate for your interview. If you are not able to identify someone who represents your focus group, you will still get points for specific topic. The preference, however, is to seek a person who knows something about the topic of your project. This interview can be captured on your phone, via zoom or other digital recording devices and uploaded to your presentation. This part of your presentation is worth up to 50 poi.nts!
If you are challenged with this part of the assignment, stop by my Zoom office hours (Mondays from 4:00 to 4:45pm) or send me an Inbox message so that I can help you come up with some ideas. For more help with your interview, See Step 3 Tips for Your Interview. attached
ORGANIZATIONS/INITIATIVES: List current/recent organizational, historical and individual efforts to improve diversity for your group.
