WOMEN AND MEDIA SPRING 2014

For my final I wanted to look at how the media has represented Hispanic women. For the most part we have been limited to few stereotypical roles in Hollywood. We have been seen as the exotic bombshell or the maid. We see these stereotypes on a daily basis, and Hispanic women are so much more than what we in the media. For this project I was unsure about how I wanted to execute my idea. At first I wanted to do a PowerPoint and show different examples of the stereotypes we see in film and television, but I also wanted to share other points of view. This is why I decided on doing a video. I interviewed three of my friends, and created another video, compiled of clips of different Hispanic actresses, to accompany the interview.
