Gender Disparities in Film Representation

This project explores gender representation in film directors/protagonists across different eras and genres through intersecting & informative data visualizations.

“Designed to present complex film data in an engaging format, my goal was to make the disparities in gender roles more accessible and easy to interpret. These visualizations help viewers quickly distinguish trends in female and male in film representation over time, as well as across different genres. By showcasing and layering attributes such as director genratios, protagonist gender distribution, historical shifts, and genre-based patterns, the project allows for an intuitive comparison of how gender dynamics have evolved in cinema. Whether analyzing early Hollywood, indie film movements, or modern blockbusters, these visualizations provide an efficient way to explore and understand gender representation in film at a glance.”
