How will my film represent social group/issues! (Planning)

 Context

Similarity to my previous blog, this time I will be planning out how I will address the second part of the CCR question which is: "how does it represent social groups or issues?" 

CCR/SCRIPT PLANNING

The general idea of my film is how patriarchy is represented in media, whether it is negative or positive. I  want to back on previously films I have discussed and how I plan on incorporating some ideas into my film.

Jo negotiating her book deal

The majority of the films I've discussed, all tackle very similar social groups/issues. However, one I want to look specifically at is Little Women. Here, Jo is negotiaing her book deal towards a man. This framing places her opposite from male authority, visually reinforcing imbalance. The film represents gender inequalitly/power imbalance through everyday restrictions and choices. Surprisingly, it was one of my biggest inspirations for planning out how my film will represent what social group/issues.

Planning!

My film will representing social issues/groups linked to patriarchy, gender norms and power imbalance. I want to incorporate a first date into my film. This makes it easier to explain my idea since, in media, it often shows first dates as spaces where women are evaluated or pressured. This dynamic is familiar since it has been repeated so much across films and shows.

However, by revealing the woman held control from the start, it directly addresses the social group/issue. It represents how women are often consumed socially/emotionally and reverses that pattern.
