organize the themes.
discuss why this is the most effective way to organize them.
discuss how the audience may establish a relationship with the interviewees.
(if time permits)
Choose one theme and decide which parts of the four interviews should be included in the film.
Discuss why this is the most effective way to present information.

5. Example
Major problem: Data are not disaggregated in the AAPI community; lacking such data means all groups are lumped into one. Purpose of the video and website: Bring awareness of the problem of aggregated data.

6. Example Organize the themes:
Problem faced by the AAPI community (black-white tension, little consideration of Asian; racial harassment, bullying; immigrants’ access; lack of civic engagement).
How organizations solve the problems (low-income housing; public transit).
How influential people bring awareness (government reps, Umass Asian Am. studies)
Action plans (participate in non-profit organizations).

7. Example
Ways to organize the themes (not exclusive, can be a combination):
Big to small (breaking down a big problem into small problems).
Small to big (solving one problem implies solving a bigger problem).
Problem/solution.

8. Example
Establishing relationship A sense of completion. Audience needs to feel they knew the person. Aesthetically pleasing. Interviews have to be engaging and are able to tell the story that seems interesting.
Consider using the (historical) documents in conjunction with the interview to make people feel engaged.

9. Example Using historical documents to: Provide historical context.
Evoke emotion.
Make a transition between points.
