SNOW WHITE - Research and presentation task

Over the next two weeks, you will be working in groups of 2 or 3 to produce a presentation about Snow White. 

You will be assigned one of the questions below and you will research the topic, prepare a resource for the class, write the essay and present them all to the class. In all cases, you will need to refer closely to the original 1938 version of Snow White in your answer. 

QUESTIONS: 

If possible, reference the theorists from Media Ownership (Industries) and/or Audiences. As a reminder this would be:

Curran and Seaton, Livingstone and Lunt, Hesmondhalgh (industries)

Bandura, Gerbner, Hall, Jenkins, Shirky (audiences) 

1. Discuss differences in production, distribution and promotion between Snow White 1937 and Shang-Chi 2021. What do these differences tell us about the way media audiences have changed? 

2. How has the marketing and promotion of films changed over the years? Refer to both Snow White 1937 and Shang-Chi 2021 in your answer.

3. How do film companies use social media and online platforms to promote, distribute and show (exhibit) their films?

4. Show how the film industry ensures that mainstream films reach the widest possible audiences.

5. How are changing attitudes to race and gender reflected in the two films you have studied. Use clear examples from both Snow White and Shang-Chi in your answer.

6. How has the Disney corporation evolved since their early success with Snow White in 1937 to its recent acquisition of other brands such as Marvel?

.

AS YOU PREPARE, REMEMBER: Your presentations / essays need to contain thoughtful and thorough analysis of the question. You need to use specific and detailed information (keep a record of all research). If you learn a new piece of terminology, you will need a slide to explain the meaning. 

NB: YOU HAVE TWO WEEKS TO PREPARE. YOU WILL BE PRESENTING IN THE LAST WEEKS OF TERM.
