In today's post I am going to describe three ideas that I would consider when it comes to creating my final project for the Media II module.
The 1st and the most interesting idea that I would like to develop would be an essay (with a possibility of making podcast out of it) about Katharine Hepburn and her influence on the cinema world; symbol of feminism (Little Woman 1933, Woman of the Year 1942, Adam's Rib 1949, African Queen 1951). She also took a role in a film that has changed the way African-American people were shown in films ever since; Guess Who's Coming to Dinner 1967; it was one of the first films that has showed interracial couple as a good, loving couple (at the moment of its release in many states of America interracial couples were still illegal)
The 2nd idea would be about writing a script for a short film; since currently I am writing a script for Film and TV Studies module about depression/isolation/rejection this one would be more cheerful; I am thinking about writing about the importance of our environment and how pollution could destroy it .
The third idea would focus on supernatural themes used in films. The essay will describe the very first movies related to that topic and also explain why so many people love films that have paranormal themes attached to it. I will later on describe one of the most known thriller/horror films from The Golden Age of Hollywood; Gaslight (1944) and some recent supernatural related films like Hereditary (2018).
