It has been especially hard to film because one of our members were out of town and then when that member came back, another one isn't going to be here ALL WEEK.... so activate panic mode!!!
Good part is today we casted our roles!!! After we were discussing with other members in other groups, we got together and decided who we wanted in our movie and decided on filming it at Marias house.
During class we established the type of characters that we want in our role:
Character Development
Mark: Late ‘20s,
Sarcastic
Cocky
High class
racist
History:
Born and raised in Miami
Parents loved him and bought him everything
Officer runs in family
Enrique: mid 20’s
Cuban
Shy
Good Heart
Strong minded
Low class
History:
Part of a gang ?
Mom left while pregnant to US for a better life
American citizen (born in US)
Mom deported at 18, sister was 13
Sister and him left behind (he raised her) (she died because of a gang fight)
He got arrested for battery and carrying an unauthorized gun
the sister died (got shot?)
Had to make his own money
Involved with neighborhood junkie (Domingo) (Drugs, stole)
Wanted to make a better life for him and his sister so wanted to stop
Ended in him and junkie fighting in street
Junkie died next day
Enrique and Mark go way back from previous trials
Enrique hands: represent the hard work he does. When he’s handcuffed and Mark shuts his hands down, it is like shutting down his freedom and his civil liberties.
Cries: shows the brutal injustice of the court system
Now that we have our characters we can finally write our script!!!!
