-so we kinda plan on having sea/waves build up from the words from the book (archive images can also be added)

Build up of sound/words= build up on community in a way

-the movement of the waves can either support a build up arc (starting from calm sea to strong waves) or have a contrast of calm with strong waves back and forth

This would give both a calm and strong atmosphere to the mood film

-we tried to play around with the iceberg idea we had, but Leia and I wasn’t really sure how we could a) fit that concept with our area of growth/evolution of community b) use the iceberg idea without victimising the community

So we kinda ditched it sorry :( But if you have any idea of how to apply it, let us know!

-we are playing around with how the ship can interact with the wave to communicate our area of focus (growth/revolution of the African American community)

After the buildup(of words+sound), we plan on silence. This silence can also be very calm ocean sound idk we can play around

Climax? (Reaching America?)

start/end with a person's individual POV (in a ship with so many other slaves, standing on American land, staring at "british faces")

can be contrasting rather than building up too idk

The term “race,” used infrequently before the 1500s, was used to identify groups of people with a kinship or group connection. The modern-day use of the term “race” is a human invention.
The world got along without race

 The words “race,” “white,” and “slave” were all used by Europeans in the 1500s, and they brought these words with them to North America. However, the words did not have the meanings that they have today.


This concept did not occur until 1613 when the English society first encountered and contrasted themselves against the East Indians through their colonial pursuits. Even then, there was not a large body of people who considered themselves “white” as we know the term today. From about the 1550s to 1600, “white” was exclusively used to describe elite English women, because the whiteness of skin signaled that they were persons of a high social class who did not go outside to labor. 

“Whiteness is a constantly shifting boundary separating those who are entitled to have certain privileges from those whose exploitation and vulnerability to violence is justified by their not being white.”


By categorizing humans by “race,” a new hierarchy was invented based on what many considered science. (hierarchy was a thing before tho)
