Project Proposal
For the final project I decided to
focus on the evolution of women in Hollywood films. I’ll create online blog and
discusses how women evolved in film, starting from the silent era to present
day. The purpose of project is to show the progress women made in the way they
are portrayed in the film.
The male gaze in Hollywood is still
present. However this project will show how it decreased over the years and
progress women made in motion picture industry. The blog will be the
review/critique page for the films.
The goal of the blog will be to show
that the films centered around strong female characters are prevalent and in
demand. It’ll demonstrate the importance of accurate representation of women in Hollywood
cinema.
Hey Katherine,
ReplyDeleteI think having a blog with films centered around strong female characters would be a great idea. Unfortunately, as we have discussed while there is some change, there isn't much difference. There is a lot of gender bias so perhaps you can discuss that and including the reasoning behind it to explain the importance of having + watching the films you pick.
Hey Ekaterine,
ReplyDeleteSorry to reply so late to your project proposal!
My suggestion is that I think your project would be more interesting if you made a timeline that looks something like this
:http://www.makers.com/blog/sexism-hollywood-timeline/1
It could be on your blog if you really wanted, or on a powerpoint. First it would help to narrow down the years you want the project to feature. You can take inspiration from something like this

You can also discuss about some possible solutions to showcasing more accurate representation of women by supporting and crowdfunding their projects, etc. Hope this kind of helped!
