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.

Ashley, just like you said I'm glad I finally am able to see your project after hearing so much about it. I really like your viewpoint on this issue. I feel like unlike most people you portray feminists as a group of people looking for equality. Plain and simple. Whereas most people make feminists out to look like crazed free radicals burning bras in the name of "girl power." I think your project shows an unspoken side and shows a creative way of learning and seeing things. Very "out of the box" to use a cliche.
ReplyDeleteI like your topic and think that it really is one that most people ignore and try to avoid. I also, agree with you that a lot of times someone else has a better way of explaining something than yourself.
ReplyDeleteI like your topic and I feel most people do ignore this topic just because of the sensitivity.
ReplyDeleteCool topic! I agree with Kristen on the fact that most people try to avoid this topic, but in the world today it is a big part of our everyday lives. Great observations!
