script 3 episode 3 progression

Script 1 version 1

With this very first Draft We had a good solid ground on where we wanted to end and how to start, the problem was getting the dialogue to fit between and make sure it could flow and make sense along with the other scripts

Script 1 version 2

Unfortunately with the second script it was becoming more difficult to come up with and make dialogue for each of the characters so that all 10 minutes are taken up.

Script 1 version 3

With the 3rd script we worked tirelessly to get it to at the very least 10 pages while still making the narrative structure seem to flow smoothly without any hiccups.

* "The term "passing" signifying an act of pretending to be of only European American ancestry when in fact of partial African or other non white descent, hails from the historical context of the "one-drop" rule. Mixed race individuals, who might have a racially ambiguous appearance, could be motivated to pass for benefits that included education, employment, and housing opportunities." - Page 5

* The writer Ralph Ellison speaks of the "darky" entertainer as a derivative of American folklore, not representative of the African American tradition. Although there is a mimicry of black culture, Ellison asserts that the darky entertainer is white because the art form is popular among whites, not blacks." - (Page 3)
* "Both whites and blacks performed in blackface for economic gain. Their motives behind the art form differed in terms of available opportunities to perform. Nevertheless, Ellison stated that the racial identity of the performer did not make a difference. The practice had a malignant effect on black either way because "it's function was to veil the humanity of the Negroes... and to repress the white audience's awareness of its moral identification with its own acts" As a result, Ellison viewed blackface performance as evidence of the continued degradation of the black culture in America." - (Page 3)
