5 Research Questions:

1. How has the role of women changed over time in film?
This question is relatively broad and kind of covers a huge expanse of research. It could be good to have a wider question so I wouldn't miss anything within the subject. I could learn more about either female directors and filmmakers or I could turn it in a more actress/character driven idea.

2. In what way are women portrayed negatively within film?
I think this questions more quickly addresses subjects and ideas that I want to pay attention to in my research. If I clean lean in the direction I want the paper to go in my research, I can focus on exactly what I want to demonstrate in my paper.

3. What is the role that women have in the film industry and how has it changed overtime?
This question doesn't immediately create a bias in my research like my last one and also has the broad subject range, again enabling me to cover different aspects involving women within the entire film industry.

4. Are female directors, filmmakers, and producers not equally represented in the film industry?
This question would hone in on the moviemaking aspect of film and would probably give me a lot of information and specific names to work with. I think I'd be more interested in this subject because I am hoping to be a filmmaker and I feel like I could learn about things that actually apply to me.

5. How are women portrayed in the horror genre and is it overwhelmingly negative?
I thought this one would be an all around better question for me to work with because this is a more focused concept. I find that the horror genre holds a lot of stereotypes that I could delve more into and open ideas on objectification and fetishization.
