HW: Week2 Short Script
Note: It’s been a busy month and I had hoped to edit the short but didn’t get to it. Here is a script for a YT short/Insta Reel
Title: My grandmother was born the year the movie Sinners takes place
Hook: The title is the hook
Footage: Clips from the movie sinners and interview footage with b-roll
Interview footage: My grandmother Albertine
B-roll: Albertine going through old photos and her playing the piano.
Voice Over: This footage was taken during the pandemic.
“Interview footage: “My name is Albertine and today, I’m 87”
My grandmother was born the year the movie sinners takes place— also known as 1932. Today my grandmother is 93 and her memory has started to go. I wish I had asked more questions during this interview but I’m glad that I was able to record the questions that I did”
Albertine was born in Chicago but her father was born in Mississippi before making his way north. Unlike Smoke and Stack, he never had any intention of going back
Interview footage: “When people would ask him where he was from, he would say ‘Mississippi, and glad to be from it.’ People would assume that he was proud of where he had come from but what he meant was that he was glad to have made it out. He said that if he hadn’t left when he did, he would either be dead or still picking cotton”
Voice Over: My grandfather was a proud and man that spoke his mind and it got him in trouble.
Footage: Clip of Smoke from the trailer
While it was fun watching Smoke gun down the Klan in the movie, that’s not how it worked in real life. If you want to hear my grandmother tell part of the story about how a lucky warning helped her father escape the Klan, I’ll be posting a longer clip of this interview on YouTube.
