Revision

Well, i didn't get to do my presentation yet, but i showed it to the teacher. It's ok, but what I'm presenting is too vague, and i agree. I was missing the point really, there is no focus to my documentary.

This gives me a chance to improve it before i present it to the class, so what i am going to do is, keep my actual presentation that i had planned to do + this reevaluation, showing my new idea. It's still based on Comics, but i've just changed the aspect of it to this;

-Comics promoting patriotism, 'say no to drugs', fight against racism etc, and also negative aspects e.g. Wertham’s Law, violence.

-Representation of women in comics i.e. artist representations, idea of 'Frigging', superheroine costumes, too skimpy? too busty? therefor sexist?

-What does the material say about the times, how do they reflect society? men/ women presented equally? How are different races presented? who are the bad guys? What are the stereotypes?


Not all of this, but this is the new direction i am going to go in, just to make it clear, i was thinking of going with the middle one, representation of women, which also goes with the third one.

So, the title would be 'Comic Books: The Representation of Women'

My to-do list is to (a) do a little more research and (b) Finish the presentation.
