PROGRESS:
We have scheduled to pick our camera up tomorrow (Friday, 2/4). After picking up our camera we plan on shooting some solid b-roll that will be featured in our trailer, which is due in less than a couple weeks. We are also in the process of communicating with possible on-camera interviewees, while we have already gained some valuble information from a Sargaent in the Minneapolis Police Department. I think after a few days of filming we will be set for our trailer.
READING RESPONSE:
I think I have read "Theme for English B" by Langston Hughes maybe three or four times now. I still find it to be a powerful piece that expresses the feelings of a boy stuck in Harlem - there's a reason that this piece continues to be put in front of our faces. I like the somewhat informal tone of the piece, like how Hughes finishes this piece with "This is my page for English B," and how he introduces the piece in the voice of his "instructor." It is a great piece dealing with racism and the inequality that blacks were treated with, and how underneath the skin we are all the same person, we are American.
