The Right Way to Deal

Welcome to our Mockumentary/Public Service Announcement about racism. We try to combine special techniques/effects, and acting + cinematic shots to make our video believable and informative. Our target audience is the general public.

We are showing how ignorance and stereotyping lead to mental stress and produce negative psychological effects i.e. the emotional pain suffered by the victim.
We want to explore why people commit these verbal crimes and how they can be settled. We are giving insight into the reality of racism and discrimination.

All of us have witnessed and suffered these stereotypes and we want to show how just how hurtful they can be. Personally, each of us encountered a situation concerning stereotypes. Kenny – walking down the street and being called offensive racial slurs i.e. General Tso. Sion – walking down the street and being called a dirty Jew. Quan – walking down the street and being asked to do math homework. Ngawang walking down the street and being called Chinese when in reality he is Tibetan.

We are writing an original script in which we devise different scenarios of how verbal racism is used and how do victims react to it.

Our questions are:
1) How is our acting? Believable?
2) Do you think we had enough integration of “different languages”?
3) Is there anything really distracting to our main point?
