Editorial Report B

Topic 1: Celebrity Commentary
  • Voice over images of Jennifer Lawrence and screenshot of her pay gap essay published on Lenny.com “Perhaps the loudest voice on the topic most recently, has been that of Jennifer Lawrence. The movie star has voiced her outrage over the pay disparity she suffered from the movie American Hustle when she learned she made less than all of her male co-stars.”
  • “And she’s not the only big name in the industry making noise. Other stars like Sandra Bullock, Sienna Miller, Anna Kendrick, Salma Hayek, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Oprah are speaking out. Pay disparity is something Oprah has been much too familiar with working in the industry for as long as she has.
  • Video clip of Oprah discussing the pay disparity she faced in 1980 and why she decided to own her own show- She wanted to be the one calling all the shots.

So here's what I changed:
- Well as you can probably tell, the two sections look like they're not even related to each other, and they're not supposed to.
- I ended up deciding to cut this piece entirely. I may end up adding back in some of it, maybe here and there, but it will not have as much time devoted to it and will be more of a background type of reinforcement of what I will be providing as commentary.
- I realized halfway through constructing my rough cut that I had far too many video clips and not enough of me, so I cut a bunch of unnecessary footage.
- I really like the new section and how it ties in big names in Hollywood, especially sharing their personal experience with the pay disparity.




Here's what changed:
- I changed the clips to include a short blurb about Patricia Arquette, Jennifer Lawrence and Sienna Miller only
-I kept the clips of Gwyneth Paltrow because she really gets into there is a pay disparity and she has firsthand experience with it.
-I limited Oprah's time also to only show why it was she was making less, and that those same attitudes persist today.
