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.

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

Colors- Brown, white, purple, and green.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Burgundy, green, and blues

Screensaver is a young family picture with Malik and Moses.

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

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.

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.

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.

Her bedroom since it's her creative space

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Colors: Gold, navy blue,and black.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jayden safe space is his room.

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

Blue. Dark Blue.

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

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

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 .

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.

Malik’s safe space is the gym, before the crowd, cameras, and outside opinions.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Colors: Purple and red

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

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.

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.

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.

This character's safe space is his room. He probably has some gaming consoles, and a setup with a mic to stream.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

His desk in his room or his bed

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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