1. Mrs. Stokes safe space would definitely be the school kitchen. It's where she gets to connect with the kids and share her passion of cooking with the entire school. She treats the kids like they're her own and is somewhat like a mother to the kids she serves.

2. Her playlist would definitely be some oldies: Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye. I could definitely see her listening to Gospel as well.

3. Colors- Brown, white, purple, and green.

4. Her bedroom would have some older wallpaper, a dimly lit setting with antique lamps with photos of her and her son. Many photos from back in the day when she was young.

5. She hides her grief and the pain of losing her son. She cooks to cope, but it's always in the back of her head that she'll never cook him again.

6. She focuses on the children at school and tries to fill the void by adopting the kids and acting as a mother figure for them.

7. She'll always live with the pain, but showing up for Malik continues to fulfill her purpose of what she'll always be, a mother.

8. Since Mrs. Stokes doesn't have much dialogue, I feel her journey is meant to be like a guardian, and that isn't meant to change, but rather reveal itself more and more as the film progresses.

1. Teresa's safe space is her living room, it's where she spends time with her family the most and their able to escape the spotlight and be normal. I imagine they have tons of photos of Maliks upbringing that show his progression into the star he's become.

2. Her playlist would definitely consist of old R&B. It reminds her of the time her and Moses met. Luther Vandross, Barry White, Isley Brothers etc.

3. Burgundy, green, and blues

4. Screensaver is a young family picture with Malik and Moses.

5. She's hiding the strain of her relationship between her and her husband due to their differences on Malik's career.

6. Subtle disagreements and tension between Her and Moses. Moses has a lack of disrespect for Teresa because of her conflicting ideals for Malik's future.

7. Because of the burglary her relationship with Moses is strengthened and he's able to understand things from her perspective and have a renewed mindset on Malik's future.

8. If we removed all dialogue, we'd see the chaotic energy of the dynamic between all 3 and the burglary changes them, but in the end brings them closer.

1. Her bedroom since it's her creative space

2. Artists: SZA, Summer Walker, some oldies she heard growing up, Daniel Caesar, lots of RNB artists with some underground people and mainstream aspects

3. Green and Brown, those are natural chill colors and Aria comes off supportive but relaxed

4. Her bedroom looks trendy but creative, it's big and she uses it to fuel her imagination and host sleepovers and relax. Her locker has pictures of her friends, family, pets and favorite artists and photos shes taken. Her phone screen looks simple and again has pictures she taken, her favorite social media apps up front and pictures of her hanging out with friends

5. Aria probably doesn't tell her personal issues to just anyone so anything serious going on mentally or in her family would be closed off for herself or her closest friends

6. Aria is very true to herself and wants to take care of the people she loves and her community so she makes sure to stay true to them and in the story a big theme is community

7. Visually for her I don't see much changing other than it getting more minimalistic since shes going to college

8. Mandatory Question Answer: The audience would see her being supportive, creative and calm and that shows up her aura and aesthetic

# data[].attributes.body
1. Malik is a big fan of sports. His room is where he stays in the most with his PS5 and JBL speaker with posters of athletes all over the walls.

2. He's more of a rap/trap fan. He likes rappers like Rylo Rodriguez, Youngboy, Lucki, and Veeze.

3. His room has bright colors with posters of music album covers, and athletes like Lebron James, Aaron Donald, and Luka Doncic.

4. If he's not at practice, he spends most of his time gaming with his friends. Games like Call of Duty Black Opps 7, 2K26, and college football 26.

5. He's closer to his mom than his dad. He secretly despises his dad because of pressure to pursue a career he didn't get. He's cool with his younger brother and lets him hangout in his room unlike most lil bro big bro relationships.

6. He has about 10K followers on Instagram and follows a few famous college athletes.

7. Malik is an emotionally immature teen on the way to college and isn't good at communicating in relationships thats why him and Aria don't get along.

# data[].attributes.body
1: Moses safe space would be his "Man Cave". It's where he goes to relax & watch T.V

2: Moses' playlist is filled to the brim with classic soul songs from the 70s.

3: Brown, Black, and Blue.

4: Moses' Bedroom would be halfway his and halfway Teresa's. His side would be pretty neat. He'd have a collection of nice watches. His phone screen would be an old photo of him and Malik at an old basketball tournament.

5: Moses big secret is that deep down he feels a large pit of regret from his early years because he was never able to make it as far as Malik.

6: He's afraid if he doesn't push Malik hard enough, Malik will fail just like him.

7: Moses will come to the realization that Malik is a growing boy becoming a man. He can't force his own dream upon him.

8: The audience would still understand Moses character by his old high school basketball photos and his assertive yet domineering attitude towards his son.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Coach Cameron safe place would be the public gym because he spends most of his time playing basketball with some of his old friends on his day off.

2. His playlist would be old classics like Marvin Gaye,Chris Brown,Luther,Well Biv DeVoe and Anthony Hamilton

3. Colors: Gold, navy blue,and black.

4. His room is well organized,have pictures of his old basketball games when he was in high school, and basketball practice for the session.

5. He hides the regrate of him not being able to make it to nationals when he was younger due to a knee injurie and how he treated his son before he worked at the school.

6. He focuses on making sure that his players reach their full potential. So they could get the same opportunities he had when he was their age, and eventually see's Malik as his younger self.

7. Due to the burglary I don't see him changing much. But I do see him becoming a guide towards Malik and help him stay grounded and focuses after the burglary. While also helping him see his actual goals.

8. If we remove all his dialogue then we would just see him as an old coach who pushes Malik and his teammates toward their potential.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Jayden safe space is his room.

2. Jayden definitely listens too tending artist or whatever is popular at the time. Probably Drake and The Weeknd.

3. Blue. Dark Blue.

4. I definitely feel like Jayden would make popular memes his phonescreen.

5. While he is supportive of his older brother, he is secretly insecure of his brother natural talent at something.

6. We see Jayden in certain shots trying to find a hobby other than social media and find legitimate talent elsewhere aside from the his online fame .

7. While he does actually still do content creation, he decides he also wants too raise awareness on different issues instead of remaining neutral.

If we removed the dialogue, we could still tell Jayden story by him (without dialogue) shoving an camera in his self, family and friends face. And in the background even when scenes aren't focused on him you can see him researching hobbies and trying to read books.

1. I feel like Naomi's safe space would be her room. She likes to be in her own world sometimes, and I feel like her room is that outlet where she can just be herself.

2. Bad Bunny is a given, but I also feel like she'd like a lot of favorites like Jose Jose, Luis Miguel, and maybe La Oreja de Van Gogh, along with Enjambre

3. I feel like it would consist of purples, reds, and dim orange. Overall moody coloring

4. I feel like her room would have fairly dim lighting, along with having some old ceramics that were from family members. I also think she'd have some stuffed animals and things she finds from time to time that she thinks would be cool to have, like things she'd find at thrift stores.

5. I feel like Naomi is very expressive and vocal about how she feels, but I also feel like she never expresses her sadness and often suppresses it unintentionally.

6. Naomi is very connected with her culture, and I feel like she wants to be more in tune with that part of herself, which is why having a Quinceañera is so important to her. Something of note, though, is that the party is silent, kind of showing that she appreciates her culture and also embraces it in her own way

7. I think the vibrant, moody colors that surround her would become much brighter (kind of like when the sun glares into your eyes), along with the visuals becoming less saturated to reflect the very real nature of what is happening in the U.S. at the current moment

Mandatory question: If all of the dialogue were removed, her story would most likely be seen as a cautionary tale more than someone's story

Your Character Choice:

ADD visuals to the following!:

1. What is this character's safe space?

I think that Naomi’s safe space is most definitely her room, she seems like an introvert that isn’t afraid of alone time. I imagine her room to be neat and also expressive in the way that you can tell who she is by just looking at it..

2.What Is On This Character’s Playlist / Watchlist?

Naomi seems very tapped in with her culture so I would think there would be plenty of hispanic artists like kali uchis, the marias, and definitely bad bunny.

3. What Colors Define This Character’s World?

Naomi is very to herself but also very bright and outspoken when it counts. I think the color that would best represent that is green .

4. What Does Their Bedroom / Locker / Phone Screen Look Like?

5. What do they Hide or not want anyone to know?

I think Naomi is a character that would be embarrassed of certain unique hobbies like crochet or collecting vinyls which is a part of her she only lets people close to her see.

6. How Does the Theme Show Up in Their World?

The theme of fear shows up in Naomi.s world as her mother and her warnings and in the fear that ICE could show up anytime and take someone she cares about.

Mario

1) Mario’s safe space is the park whether it’s sitting on a bench enjoying the greenery or the skate park at night.

2) He watches a lot of musicals or just funny movies like In the heights, footloose, the super Mario movie. He listens to bad bunny, Karol g, Cardi B, and NBA young boy.

3)The colors that define his world are mahogany, white, tobacco, dark green, grey, umber, and black.

4)His wallpaper would be Mario from super Mario brothers to be funny. His room would be full maximumalist vibes with posters from his favorite movies, musicals, and artists. His locker is organized with pictures of his family and friends, and backup supplies in case he looses anything.

5)He hides that he does graffiti, and is the tagger that we see when Naomi’s walking to school.

6) He’s scared to get taken but knows he has to speak up. He’s scared that his actions will get back to his family and that they will be taken as well. He’s always hyper aware and constantly looking back.

7)What changes visually is he’s in the middle of making a new tag when he gets taken by ice and ends up in the back of the van sad and terrified for his family and upset with himself for getting caught.

8) We would tell it by always having him look over his shoulder in public, show him at different times tagging places, and show him involved in protests.

# data[].attributes.body
1 I think Naomi’s safe space would be school because she has all her friends in one place and she’s close with the teacher and staff it’s a place where she feels everyone would have her back rather than home with just her mother

2 her playlists would be kind of all over the place some country pop like Meagan Moroney some Spanish music to dance to like huapangos (Mexican 2 person style dance)

To play while she cleans her room and some regular pop and rap like Sza, cardi b, while also having like Sabrina carpenter and sombr.

3 The colors that would define her are like a very muted green and some navy and black for sure and also sage greens with marrón as well very deep colors

4 I believe her phone screen would be her favorite color sage/ muted green with a quote from her favorite teacher and her room would be very minimalist so she can change it Easley while also having some person stuff like tennis rackets or sports stuff some books things that define her but not too much

5 she hides her fear for ice and try’s to act like she doesn’t really care but deep down she’s really worried and scared she doesn’t want anyone to know she’s afraid of stuff because she’s a very bubbly person

6 the theme of fear shows up in her world when ice comes around her street asking questions

7 naomi her self is what changes visibly by the end in the sense that she did what she wants with her party and it ended up costing her everything

If you removed all the dialogue Naomi would still be understood because the fear is real off screen with ice or essence in places where no one’s talking about

Empty basketball him - Malik's safe space

# data[].attributes.body
1. Malik’s safe space is the gym, before the crowd, cameras, and outside opinions.

2. Playlist:

Motivational rap

NBA Youngboy

J. Cole

Nipsey Hussle

Future

His music is about:

Grinding

Legacy

Proving people wrong

Success

What he watches:

NBA highlights

Interviews of athletes

NIL deal content

Sports documentaries

3. Gold (like Bright Lights) (Public Malik)

Flashy

Spotlight

Fame

Dark Black / Gray (Private Malik)

Pressure

Isolation

Doubt

Fear after the burglary

4. His bedroom is full of basketball posters, music posters, and motivational quotes to keep him going.

5. He doesn't want anyone to know his fear of making the wrong decision, and being unsure on where he goes.

6. I believe it goes from the public praising him and appreciating him, to later being betrayed by his community after his robbing, then they unite to help figure out who did the crime.

7. It goes from feel-good community story, to uncertainty on if he should've stayed around, after being robbed while out celebrating with family.

Mandatory Q: Through lighting, space, costume, and objects, we would see his transformation from confident star to uncertain young man questioning his environment.

1. Moses feels safe in front of the camera. However, it's not just the camera that makes him feel safe; it's the limelight.

2. He definitely listens to trap or edm. He feels like the main character, so his son, in his eyes, must be raised in his image.

3. The room is red and gold. The red symbolizes his real life, and as you can see, it's a dark, washed-out red, which reflects his prime coming to an end. The gold represents what he wants for himself through Malik

4. I chose this room solely because of the color scheme and the size. It just screams expensive to me, and Moses seems like a luxurious kind of dad.

I chose this photo for Intent because of the lighting. I imagine the lighting being a very symbolic part of the film. For example, the lights are very bright when Malik is choosing his place of further study. In contrast, it's dark when they find the house has been burglarized. You can even use the colors. Cold blues and purples for negative beats and warm yellows and oranges for the opposite.

For Quince, I chose this photo of a marigold. Marigolds are a traditional Latin-American flower. Flowers could be a very symbolic motif for this film. Examples include; fully bloomed flowers at the quinceanera, withering flowers during the argument between Claudia and Naomi (afterwards Claudia could hesitantly try and tend to them to symbolize her care for Naomi even though she knows that what she wants may not happen).

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this photo because it shows the trophies and that malik is the only one in the gym, putting in extra work, trying to achieve his basketball dreams. We could also have a picture of Malik and the coach holding up a trophy to show the audience that there is a longer standard relationship with them.

I chose the second photo with J. Cole because even though there’s so many people present in the shot, you’re still focused on the girl in pink and J. Cole because they are in the middle of the scene. in the gym scene where Malik is picking his college. this would be good to highlight Naomi and Aria

1. Naomis safe space would be the library. It's private and she won't have to deal with anyone which is good for her because she seems introverted. She would be able to mind her business and in calm environment.

2. Naomi would have mixed playlists I could see having Bruno mars, Bad Bunny, Kali Uchis, Summer Walker which would keep her in a calm mood most of the time

3. Colors: Purple and red

4. Her bedroom would have dim led lights either red or purple, I could see her having both

5. Naomi hides her fear of raids and instability. She presents herself as not caring as much but in her heart she is fearful so she keeps quiet.

6. The them of fear shows up in her would when Ice came by her street and made her fear Ice showing up at any time and taking people away.

7. Mandatory Question: We would understand Naomi through her physical isolation and her use of headphones. Her environment would show that she is a girl trying to balance joy and protection in a world that feels unpredictable to her.

# data[].attributes.body
1. This character's safe space is his room. He probably has some gaming consoles, and a setup with a mic to stream.

2. He spends more time on youtube and social media than he does watching movies and shows. He enjoys The Clover Boys, AMP, and Faze. He keeps up with the latest artists, Don Toliver, Playboi Carti, Travis Scott. Very mainstream music taste, and the occasional Jhene Aiko and Kehlani.

3. Yellow. Represents the happiness and joy, but also innocence that he has at his young age. Blue. It's very usual for streamers to have blue LED's so he started to like the color more and more.

4. Lockscreen is definitely a photo of himself wearing one of his brother's chains when he was younger. Or maybe a photo of him and his first chain, holding a youtube plaque.

5. He wants people to love him and think he's super cool, however he deosn't want people to know the insecurities he feels by being in his brother's shadow.

6. The theme "fear" shows up in his world because he's scared that he'll never be able to live up to the glory that his older brother has.

7. He could become more calm, instead of grabbing every opportunity to film everything, he's more mature and thinks before grabbing the camera.

8. If we removed all dialogue from this character, we'd understand his journey through him being in the background of Malik in most scenes, holding a camera to himself, mouthing words to his audience. By the end of the story, the camera is no longer on, and he's helping Malik out in the real world and not just the virtual one.

1. Abuela’s safe place is her own home due to her being an older age with less freedom

2. The characters playlist would be Selena, Carlos Vives, Elvis Crespo and Bad bunny due to representing the Spanish culture

3. The colors that define this characters world is light brown and blue representing peace and calmness.

4. Abuela’s bedroom look like an old room with old photos of her when she was little and was still living in Mexico and wooden floor boards that creek during the night.

5. The theme show up in their world representing what’s going on in today’s event with ICE going on.

6. The thing that’s changes by the end is abuela being deported while seeing her granddaughter happy with her quince

1. His desk in his room or his bed

2. I think that Jayden would want to listen to mostly mainstream things like Bad bunny, drake, maybe some tyler the creator

3. I think he would have a sort of black, purple vibe , maybe a little blue

4. I think Jayden would have one of those custom backgrounds you have to import onto your phone. Maybe a car background that relates to his favorite color and or vehicle.

5. Maybe he likes to do an activity that doesn't relate to sports so his father is kind of disappointed. Like the art (Crocheting, painting, graphic design) so he tries to become popular so he can mask his talents.

6. Jaydens theme might be expressing himself more because he tries to mask his talents because he's embarrassed

7. Maybe he joins an art club of some sort and maybe he starts a new channel that shows off his love for art instead of popularity

8. If we removed dialogue then we would see him of some kind of kid idol and a brother of another popular kid

Dark Green / Brown – experience, wisdom, stability

Gray – age, toughness, realism

Gym colors (wood floor, school colors) loyalty to the program and school

His world feels practical, worn-in, and grounded, not flashy.

4. What Does Their Bedroom / Locker / Phone Screen Look Like?

Bedroom

Simple and organized

Old trophies, coaching plaques, and framed team photos

Maybe a clipboard or playbook on the nightstand

Locker / Office

Whiteboard with plays drawn up

Old basketballs and whistles

Photos of former players he helped succeed

Phone Screen

Team group chats

Game film clips

Nothing flashy. Everything is about basketball and mentorship.

5. What Do They Hide or Not Want Anyone to Know?

Coach Cameron hides that:

He worries about Malik leaving or failing.

He might feel like he didn’t make it as far as he hoped in basketball, so he pours everything into coaching

He knows the community can both support and hurt players, but he doesn’t show that doubt openly.

He tries to appear steady and confident for his players.

6. How Does the Theme Show Up in Their World?

The main theme of the episode is community and what it really means.

Coach Cameron represents the positive side of community:

He trains Malik early in the morning.

He shows up to help clean the house after the burglary.

He repeats the motto: “The separation is in the preparation.”

For him, community means showing up when it matters, not just celebrating wins.

7. What Changes Visually by the End?

At the start:

Coach Cameron is in the gym environment, focused on sports and discipline.

By the end:

He appears at Malik’s house helping clean up after the burglary.

This will represent Malik’s big day of choosing his college in front of the whole school. The full gymnasium is hype and excited about his choice to commit to USC!

Mood: anxious but overall optimistic and excited!

You see a big crowd of the whole school in the bleachers of the gymnasium with people wearing Malik’s basketball jersey along with a few photographers. Almost everyone has their phones out recording.

You hear trophies playing in the gymnasium speakers as Malik walks onto the podium with the different hats on display of the final 5 choices of the schools to attend. When he makes his choice by putting the hat on, the crowd roars in excitement.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe this scene in the Early Morning practice session of Malik and Coach Cameron goes too highlight Malik dedication too his craft and the lessons instilled in him by those around him. The quote "The separation is in the preparation." I think this means and what sets people apart (success vs failure, average vs elite) is how well they prepare beforehand. And the National Signing Day banners foreshadowing Malik's signing day decision.

I envision the scene beginning with a close up on the DJ's setup to immediately set the tone for the party vibe of this scene.

Then we move to an MS to capture the intimacy, community, and joy in the scene between Naomi and her guests. Off of Naomi smiling and singing she notices Mario.

We transition to an over the shoulder, where the shot composition puts Mario in a Full to Medium shot from her POV. He's standing at the entrance to the party.

Then the shot of them talking should be a MFS to Medium shot. Will be a good transition from MCU's of their dialogue shots.

Next an insert of the gift

I chose this scene because, I think it's a good distraction of the scene were we can see Naomi showing examples of a silent party on her tablet with a unsure and worried expression on Claudia's face. After we see her in the kitchen cutting topping for the tacos when Naomi told her about the idea.

I designed my shots to show Malik’s emotional progression and to visually represent how personal the situation is to him. In the first frame, I used a wide shot of Malik entering his destroyed room to show the full damage. This helps the audience understand the seriousness of the situation and how violated his personal space is right away. In the second frame, I used a panning shot across Malik’s trophies to emphasize what was lost. The slow movement allows the audience to take in the destruction, and the trophies symbolize Malik’s hard work and identity, making the moment more meaningful. In the third frame, I included a close-up shot of Malik’s face to show his shift emotionally. This is important because it captures his reaction without needing much dialogue, showing his shock turning into internal anger. In Frame 4, when Jayden starts filming, the focus shifts to their interaction. This moment builds tension because it shows the difference between Malik’s emotional state and Jayden’s decision to record instead of support him. It sets up the conflict before Malik reacts. In the fifth frame, I used an action shot when Malik knocks the phone out of Jayden’s hand. This shows the heat of the conflict AND shows Malik losing control after trying to hold in his emotions.

Lastly, in Frame 6, I ended with a wide shot of Malik leaving the room. This creates emotional distance and shows that he is overwhelmed and frustrated. It also leaves the scene unresolved, which keeps the tension strong. Overall, I feel like my shots show all the emotion through visual elements, all to build tension and the audience can understand what's going on besides the dialogue being shown. Malik risks losing his cool image if Jayden was to stream the chaos going on in their lives.
