A Legal History of Racism
“The contradiction between belief in equality and their desire to treat others unequally necessitated the development of increasingly sophisticated systems of justification” (Kaufman 2003, 124).
This justification enforced the belief that the U.S. belongs to its white citizens.

Fill in the blanks
“13 percent of drug users are African American. ____ percent of those arrested for using drugs, ___ percent of those convicted, and ____ percent of those who go to prison are African American” (Kaufman, 2005, __).

The legacy of Racism
“When something bad happens to a white person, this lens encourages us to think of that person as an unfortunate victim. When something bad happens to a person of color, the lens encourages us to think that he or she somehow did something to bring the problem on his or her self. When a person of color walks into a store, this lens produces an image of that person untrustworthy and likely to steal” (Kaufman, 2005. 133).
![Page 12: SLFS: Ideas for Action chapters 5 and 6; Video for Change chapter 4](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816519550346895dd79687/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Discussing Race
Most Americans believe racism is wrong but feel uncomfortable discussing it.
White guilt is when whites feel they must feel guilty when looking at racial history, which they do not want to do or feel they deserve, so they have no choice but to avoid discussing race

Ideas for Action chapter 6: “Theorizing and Fighting Gender-Based Oppressions” Quiz: can you recall from the reading
the year that the federal law outlawed discrimination on the basis of gender in education institutions that receive federal funding?
![Page 16: SLFS: Ideas for Action chapters 5 and 6; Video for Change chapter 4](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816519550346895dd79687/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What Feminism Isn’t
“Feminism is represented in the mass media as an extremist fringe of women who want to glorify ugliness and hate men” (Kaufman 2003, 152).
![Page 17: SLFS: Ideas for Action chapters 5 and 6; Video for Change chapter 4](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816519550346895dd79687/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Gender vs. Sex
Sex is a biological difference Gender is a social difference Sex and gender are treated differently in
different cultures. How is gender constructed? Nature vs.
nurture. The baby x study

Gender formation in the U.S.
The separation of public and private spheres and the myth of the nuclear family set the standards for today’s dominant conceptions of masculinity and femininity.

Discussion Question If women are seen as second class
citizens when compared to men, why were women and children sometimes put before men?
Ex: nearly 75% of those who survived the sinking of the Titanic were women and children, of each class. Why???
![Page 21: SLFS: Ideas for Action chapters 5 and 6; Video for Change chapter 4](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816519550346895dd79687/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Main Schools of Feminist Thought Liberal Feminism argues that women
should be able to be just like men and have access to the public sphere.
Radical Feminism- argues that the values of the private sphere—the cooperation and nurturance associated with women-should come to rule society.
Socialist Feminism argues that the whole setup of public and private spheres is a political operation that must be challenged
![Page 22: SLFS: Ideas for Action chapters 5 and 6; Video for Change chapter 4](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816519550346895dd79687/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Working Women Socialist feminists have worked hard to
establish the activities of the private sphere as work
If such work is considered, a married women with children works an average of one month a year more than her male partner.
America needs part time jobs with benefits and generous parental leave policies.

Key Quote
“As women have tried to escape from the confines of the heterosexual nuclear family and the ways that motherhood limits their access to money, prestige, and a sense of accomplishment, they have been blamed for not doing what men have never done” (Kaufman 2003, 166).
![Page 24: SLFS: Ideas for Action chapters 5 and 6; Video for Change chapter 4](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816519550346895dd79687/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Food for Thought
75% of murder victims in the U.S. are male. Why?

Video for Change chapter 4: “Video Production: Filming a Story” Keep you camera in the shade after
filming
Pointing your camera lens at the sun or another strong light can permanently damage it
![Page 27: SLFS: Ideas for Action chapters 5 and 6; Video for Change chapter 4](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816519550346895dd79687/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Technique
Shot a series makes a Sequence
Sequence a series makes a scene
Scene a series makes a video
![Page 28: SLFS: Ideas for Action chapters 5 and 6; Video for Change chapter 4](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816519550346895dd79687/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Shots!
Extreme long shot Long shot Mid-shot Close-up Extreme close-up
![Page 29: SLFS: Ideas for Action chapters 5 and 6; Video for Change chapter 4](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816519550346895dd79687/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Getting Quality Footage
Auto focus is best in good lighting with limited movement
When filming multiple moving subjects in low light, use manual focus
When in doubt…wide shots are almost always in focus
![Page 30: SLFS: Ideas for Action chapters 5 and 6; Video for Change chapter 4](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816519550346895dd79687/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Lighting
Artificial light gives an orange tinge while outdoor light gives a blue tinge
Reset the white balance if lighting conditions change, by zooming in on a piece of white paper or turning the camera off and on
Key lights, fill lights, and backlights In low light, pictures will be of poorer quality Softer light it better for portraits
![Page 31: SLFS: Ideas for Action chapters 5 and 6; Video for Change chapter 4](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816519550346895dd79687/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: SLFS: Ideas for Action chapters 5 and 6; Video for Change chapter 4](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816519550346895dd79687/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Moving the Camera
For every shot in which you move the camera, shoot five still shots.
Hold shots for 10-15 seconds. Get still shots before and after camera
movements. Basic camera movements: pans, tilts,
and zooms. Do not overuse.
![Page 33: SLFS: Ideas for Action chapters 5 and 6; Video for Change chapter 4](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816519550346895dd79687/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Sound
Use headphones when recording to evaluate sound
Filming in rooms with sound-absorbent materials in them such as carpets, curtains, or soft furnishings is preferred.
Control what you can

Tips
Bracket your shots Demonstrate cause and effect Avoid “yes” and “no” questions in
interviews Don’t ask leading questions

Types of Footage

Group Activity
In two groups of four each… come up with a scene one of you might
have in your film (an introductory or key scene)
Break it down into a story board and draft a shooting plan for the scene
See the bullet points on pages 161-162 for guidance

Remember…
“No matter how compelling we think an issue or story is, it is our job to present that story in a way that engages the audience’s intellect, their emotions, their senses of humor and justice, while not oversimplifying the issue or irresponsibly representing people or situations” (Duchesne, 2005, 149).
![Page 38: SLFS: Ideas for Action chapters 5 and 6; Video for Change chapter 4](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816519550346895dd79687/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
