BIBLIOGRAPHY

Plan:
For my Final Major Project (FMP) I am producing a documentary about the
development of women’s roles in movies.
In my documentary I will discuss (and therefore I will research):
- Why there are not as many movies with female leads
o Why superheroes and murderers are mainly played by men
- Investigate why it has taken so long for women to be seen in films
as independent strong characters
- If there is still a divide between men and women in movies
o Avengers: Infinity War- small sections of purely female fight scene, Scarlet
Witch was there as a love story/caring for Vision
o In the main fight scene, majority of fighters are men
- Why women are displayed as caring, loving or oversexualised roles in
movies
(I will go more in depth in my brief and research later)
