Watch Y2GAY Video
It is a fantastic example of a short film dealing with the same concepts as our class. It deals with sexism rather then racism, but there are quite a few wonderful quotes/points made in the short film that are true for the diversity issues our class is facing.
There is both a narrative and interview styled portions, which allows for a clearly understood story arch. Take note of the opening scene, transitions, story arch, placement of scenes in relationship to others & how this effects the story, and closing titles. I hope you notice the humor and lighthearted nature of the film as well. Remember that everything within the film must flow and fit together perfectly from beginning to end, while making a significant point. Notice how this is done here.
It is a perfect example of what would fulfill the class video assignment, if the subject was dealing with race. I really enjoyed it and its only 5 minutes long... So, please let me know your thoughts on it alone and how it relates to our class. Thank you.

Riots of 2009 in Akron, Ohio
Riots of 2009
On March 14, 2009 Akron experienced its most recent rioting. On that Saturday, a female minor was spotted by an APD officer while screaming profanities along Newton Street. The officer gave multiple warnings to her to discontinue, but the teen refused. The officer then exited his cruiser and attempted to arrest her for disorderly conduct. The sixteen-year-old girl began striking the police officer, bloodying his nose. While the struggle was still occurring, a crowd watching the event rushed towards the scene, forcing the officer to draw his Taser and order them to stay back, but he was ignored. The riot was quelled after several back-up officers arrived and the paramedics treated the officer and two citizens. Seven suspects, both adults and minors were charged with crimes ranging from aggravated riot, failure to disperse, disorderly conduct and assault on a police officer. In July 2009, a group attack occurred in the Firestone neighborhood of Akron. The attack was committed by a group of African-American teens, who attacked a white family due to their race. The teens were said to be heard saying "this is a black world now" as they beat the white family, which included a paraplegic man. His wheelchair was pushed over, and he was thrown to the ground. The Akron Police apprehended suspects shortly after the incident, but did not give the victims a chance to identify them.
