COP tutorial 2

After presenting my visual timeline of Contentious / controversial banned movie posters to my cop tutor, we began discussing the evident correlations between these posters.
The fact of how women are represented on both sexual and horror movie posters is something that demands attention.

Questions arose such as:

Does poster failure/banning hinder a film's success?

Research into areas such as gender identity, the gaze, gender roles and female empowerment were touched on.

Film & tv's general influence on the youth.

Documentaries such as Game changers starring Daniel Radcliffe, that focusses on the influence of video games and media.

Recommended research sources such as LSE's Postfeminist media culture: elements of a sensibility.

Laura Mulvey's visual pleasure and narrative cinema

Christian Metz Psychoanalysis and the cinema

Post feminist media culture

David Gauntlet's Media, gender identity
