Ideas Development 2 + Research

I made a further brainstorm and changed around my ideas. For the beginning of my narrative I thought that I could introduce the Black Lives Matter movement, instead of just talking about Trayvon. This would give the audience an insight to the wider context of the story. I could show some of the things that the movement stands for, for example, it's against police brutality and racial stereotyping. I could also show Trayvon at the same time these things are mentioned. This could lead up to the climax of the narrative which would be Trayvon's murder. In the conclusion I would make a point against ending stereotypes.

I also did some further research into the topic to help with my ideas:-

• Mentions Trayvon - he made her think of his brother. Trayvon is a symbol that people can relate to, if you have a young male relative you'll be able to feel an emotive connection to him
• "A re-humanization project". My animation could look at the ways black lives are dehumanised and how this should be changed
