in need of help for creating a short documentary on transgender representation in media (3)

1 Name: princessokay : 2016-01-21 13:14 ID:8Rxvax4k [Del]

I'm new to the dollars but my friend suggested it to me and i thought it'd be a great way to get help :)
I’m currently doing a documentary project for my college course and I thought I’d create something that informs audiences of what transgender representation means in the media. However I’m not sure exactly where I want this study to go. At first I was concentrating on something that would discuss cis actors playing trans roles but I thought it could be a little too opinionated and I wouldn’t know where to look to get both sides of the story.
Basically I want to discover the opinions of my interviewees and what they feel is important for the future of transgender representation in films, tv etc. I know it’s a little general at the moment but thats also where I’d like to ask for help.
There are so many factors I know I need to consider, and for a 5 -8 minute film, I really want to get it right. I’m not aiming for an opinionated conclusion out of it, but more rather a showcase of opinions for an audience, and for myself, to think about.
If theres any advice you could give to me, any criticisms or you would like to be in the film in the form of a skype interview or any other form of contribution, then please message me through the tumblr messenger or send an ask to either my film blog, filmsandphotosbysillykiid or my main blog, sillykiid​ or message me on my Instagram @sillykiiid.
As an aspiring filmmaker I want to gain a better understanding of this topic for when I’m able to create bigger work and, as a transgender person, I want the chance to positively represent us in my art. I hope any of you can help and thank-you for reading such a long post.

I don't know if I could help I want to change my sex but I haven't started yet and most likely won't for a couple of years
