Final Project!

For the final project I decided to expand further on my third mini project because I felt like it represented my topic the best. I chose to use Storify to present my information because it gave you the option to use work from others, which I value for a project like this. Sometimes another person can explain something better than yourself. The project as a whole is about the Feminist Film Theory, it is not meant to change your view of the films that you see, but it is meant to grab your attention on the issue of how women are seen in the eye of media like films and photography. This theory is not brought up a lot because of the word Feminist, people automatically repel at the idea of it, at no point during this assignment did I change what I believe it just gave me a better understanding of what occurs in media.

Mini Project 3

For my third mini project I decided to use Storify for one sole purpose, it allowed me to collaborate with the works of others to make my point. As I did last project I dove deeper into the Feminist Film Theory because it gave me a different view on how you can analyze a film to fit the needs of your opinion. I chose to look into a professor named Laura Mulvey who coined the term The Gaze, which simply means how a man looks at a woman as a desired object instead of a normal human being. Mulvey uses Alfred Hitchcock' Rear Window as the main critic and puts her theory to the movie.

Mini Project 2!!!!!!!!!

For this mini project I stepped out a little from my Women Representation in Popular Culture to a more Feminist in film concept. After an interesting source I was able to gain insight into why women want to be represented fairly; the main reason being that they wanted someone(a character) that they could relate to without all of the usual drama that surrounds being a women. I chose to do an infographic because it is easier to read and it allows you to put more visuals. From my last project I refined my search to a sub-category within my initial topic because it was to broad and I can still use the same resources.
