Scene 1 : Slow cuts between close ups of all 4 interviewees. Setting: outside, different locations. Audio clip A played - 15 seconds.
Scene 2: Quick cut, displaying close up interviewee 1. 'Watch This Space' appears over the close up. Bass sound effect used around each individual word.
Scene 3: *narrator prompts questions, 'Let's begin by talking about stereotypes', interviewee's response incorporates the question 'stereotypes?' - thus the narrative becomes rhetorical. Answers encompassed by fairly quick cut - minimum of 10, cut speed is increased along with non diegetic monotone sound which builds with pace of cut.
Scene 4: Non-diegetic sound cuts out. Black screen. Narrator 'Stop.'
Scene 5: Interviewee's sitting down in front of white screen. Narrator *diegetically*, 'Now tell me about yourself' *interviewees prompted by narrator's questions: 1) Do you think you're an introvert or extrovert? 2)Do think you're loud?
Scene 6: Narrator: 'Have you ever experienced stereotyping first hand?' Quick cut between 4 answers - individual development of 2 characters.
Scene 7: Narrator: 'How far do you think ethnic feminity has become divided by the light-skin, dark skin' Development of remaining 2 characters.
Scene 8: Narrator: 'Western society has found new ways of dividing Black women. It’s bad enough that women, in general, find a billion reasons not to get along (men, jealousy, men, choices in fashion, men, pettiness, men…), but then skin color and hair texture are added to the mix. We all like to judge each other by the way we look. If you’re light-skinned with long hair, you must be conceited and cold. If you’re dark-skinned and wear your hair kinky or curly, you must be Afro-centric or militant. Nope. This is not the case at all. I know plenty of women of many different hues and backgrounds that fit into those and many other categories. The cover doesn’t always represent the book. Black women aren’t either/or. We’re just us.'
