Production Report 8a

Content Outline

First Section:

• Clip from the most recent celebrity speech on the topic to show how the issue is still current
• Include commentary over pictures and short video clips of celebrities discussing the problems with pay in Hollywood and how it still persists

So I am still tweaking with the video editing software, but because the software is actually downloaded onto my computer, it makes it really difficult to get just a clip of the video from this section up for viewing.  I have several video clips and images that I have compiled that I will be including in my video essay, but here is the script of what I have so far.

Section 1 Script:

• Introduce short clip from Patricia Arquette's Oscar's acceptance speech discussing the recent discussion on the gender pay disparity
• Voice over pictures and short clips of commentary of each of the following mentioned celebrities.
• "You have probably heard a hundred times, that women make on average 77 cents to every dollar that a man makes, and if you were to say that today, many people would probably tell you you're just plain wrong. But are you really? The place where the majority of this discussion on pay disparity is currently happening is in Hollywood, and it's being discussed by some of the top names in the business. One of most noted voices to speak on this issue in recent months, was actress Jennifer Lawrence, who wrote a piece entitled, 'Why do I make less than my male co-stars?' in  which she discusses the pay disparity she suffered from her recent film American Hustle. But she's not alone in her discussion of the topic. Other big names in Hollywood like Sienna Miller, Gwyneth Paltrow, Salma Hayek, Anna Kendrick, and Emma Watson are speaking out as well.
