Overlapping and Complicating: Analysis of the Effects of Experiments on Shaping Relationships between Female Characters in films on Feminist Attempts

Abstract

Films involve a great number of stereotyped implications currently. For years, research on film studies and gender studies has been primarily focused on the transition of thread screenwriters, film directors, and editors could use for the creation of more real and inspiring female characters. However, few studies have focused on a fundamental structure of films, the relationships between characters. In 2020, scientists at the Ben Gurion University and Nottingham University Business School found a method to reveal links between characters appearing in the Star Wars Movies Series when they set out to find the closing gender gap in the Series. Although the 2020 study relied on network and machine learning algorithms in the largest part of the instigation, the methods it utilized are of pioneering endeavor because the social network between characters in the films was considered and weighted. To eliminate and seek out more positive effects films could have on feminist attempts, experiments on relationships between female characters are analyzed in this paper on a more literary level and accepts psychoanalytic and behavioral psychology. The methods utilized focus on implementing case studies on experimental attempts on creating overlapping and complicated relationships between female characters. This paper will also emphasize the inspiring 2020 study.
