10 key words relevant to my study

1) Realism- Is a concept and treatment which has changed over time, what was real about superhero films in the past may not be in modern times

2) Male gaze- female superheroes being subjected to the male gaze through cosutmes that expose thier bodies.

3) Dumbing down- In a movie the female heroine could be dummed down by using less articulate vocab or not as much brain power but relying on someone else to solve mysteries

4) Ethnic minorities- the lack of black or asain lead charcters in hollywood blockbusters could be related to the case that females not getting much of a chance

5) Evidence- Clear signs that womans roles in action films have changed not through words but by thier actions

6) Structered reaserch- step by step reaserch that is organised, relevant and easy to view

7) Bibliography- A place where notes of everything i have done is kept similarly to my blog

8) Gravil- Another acroynm for the key conepts, this should help me remember them aswell as migrain

9)Inculation Theory- suggest that frequent exposure to the same media message dulls the impact of the message. In a movie for instance seeing a female chacter swap sexual favours for infomration might have come as a shock to an audience at one time but once it is repeated again in other movies they get a "Ive seen it all before" feeling therefore lessining the impact on them when they see it

10) Footnotes- putting a note at the bottom of the page details the relevant publications or source, this should help me as it decreases the chance of being accused of plagarism. Also it could be very useful when stating a peice of information as it could be used to reinforce or challenge a point that I had made
