Passing the Bechdel Test
On Monday when I was reading the comments that Lacy made on my Project Reflection, she mentioned that I could use the Bechdel Test on the examples that I plan to use on the first Mini Project. Since my topic of choice is Women Representation in Popular Culture, this test will help me determine if certain movies, television shows and books represent women in the way that they should be represented. Along with using the Bechdel Test, I was planning on using a Photo Essay to show the results that I have come up with. Using a Photo Essay will allow me to display examples that pass the test and why they passed; personally I believe that this method will help me get my information across.

Ashley, I think that this is a very interesting and well thought out idea. I think that the idea of the Benchdel Test is very interesting as well. I think that this project will be very good.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that you are really passionate about this topic. That will make this fun for you. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a good approach to this mini project. Women in popular culture is definitely a good field to apply a Bechdel test. However, you might want to narrow your field of study to one specific type of media.
