Transcending

My documentary is a look into the trans and non binary students of Booker T. I will be interviewing students of all grades and all clusters about how they are treated by friends, family, peers, and teachers. I am looking to have a very relaxed feeling in the film, like the viewer is the one conversing with the student. I have written up a list of questions to ask.

1. State and spell your preferred name
2. What is the name that was assigned to you at birth?
3. Why did you choose to go by a different name?
4. What gender do you identify as?
5. How does this differ from the gender you were assigned at birth?
6. How did you tell your parents that you were trans/non binary?
7. At what age did you realize your gender was different from the one you were assigned at birth?
8. What pronouns do you prefer people use when referring to you?
9. What difficulties do you you find people have when talking to/about you?
10. How do you feel trans/non binary people are represented in mainstream media?

I want to do most of the interviews at school because the subject is students from Booker T who are trans/non binary. I already have a few students lined up to be interviewed.

I want to take definitions of trans/non binary etc... and super impose them onto some shots of students and certain places in Booker T and the Arts District.
