Hispanic Representation

 The main character, Vida Martinez, is a Hispanic character that lives in South Florida. Vida was born in Venezuela and lived there for half of her life.  I plan for her to show her culture and occasionally speak Spanish with her family or with her friends. Vida will be introduced in the opening scene, and she is the girl that finds her friend dead. Her room will even show her heritage, with flags, colors, pictures, paintings, posters, etc. If I can find good copyright free music to incorporate in my film, then there will even be music playing in a speaker. 

However, many Hispanic women are represented with a negative stereotype. For instance, they're loud, annoying, complain, and are mean. Vida will hopefully create more positive stereotypes. For example, she's kind, super intelligent, funny, and a bit intense. She is quite the opposite of the other stereotypes but in a good way. This way, if this were a real movie, it can create good representation for all Hispanic women out there

Anyways, I decided to create a mood board for Vida, so that you see more of her dynamic!

This represents her culture and her interests. I've even added my friend, Faustina that would be playing the part. 

By the way, I made sure that the actress is actually Hispanic, instead of adding someone that has no background or intense knowledge about the culture. That way, it feels like it's actual representation.
