Women and Film
“The past 100 years” is too broad! You need to find a couple of historical examples (Katherine Hepburn Vs Marylin Monore would be great), THEN look at some contemporary bib box office stars.
A better title:
“Do representations of women in film relate to the society and culture the films are produced from, and if so what does the popularity of current stars tell us about our society?”
I have attached a previous project on this title.
You will need to begin by reading several chapters (3 and 4) from “Media Gender and Identity”.
You will need to consider a few contemporary big box office female stars too.
You will need to build in some real audience stuff. For example, by testing out how real audiences “read” a couple of contemporary female stars – what they think of the representations of femininity they offer.
Eg you could do, say, Renee Zelwegger and, say, Angelina Jolie.
