Yes we know the portrayal of women on screen is horrendously skewed, but lets look beyond that at the type of roles they play. I feel women aren't given complex roles anymore, they are just there to look good and appeal to a male audience (think Megan Fox in Transformers) and I would like to further investigate this and find many more examples and contrast it against roles women had in lets say the 50's and 60's.
2. Gender Roles on screen
This is a similar idea to the first one, except it would be slightly different and would focus on movies and television.
3. Reality TelevisionJust discovering the history of reality television and the path that helped create what it is today. I would like to know all aspects of it, for example, how much is real, how much is scripted, how do they find people, and discuss the different type of reality shows there are and there popularity. I think theres a lot to this subject that would be fun to explore.
Interesting ideas. #3 would probably interest me the most, but there's probably a lot of interesting content to cover in #2. Especially since I disagree with it to some extent.
ReplyDeleteYour first two topics are interesting, but entire books have been written about them. You would need to narrow down the topic to something way more specific. E.g. women's role in a specific type of movie, specific time period, etc. Third topic sounds very interesting and you can probably find good research sources.
