Critical Investigation Proposal


Critical Investigation Proposal
Potential Title:
    “Has Hollywood Production Standards Dropped or Has Audience Film Desires Changed ”

Different Angles
·         This critical investigation will focus on how film standards have changed over the years.
·         Over the past decades the overall standards of Hollywood films has changed and what is tolerable in films has completely changed.
·         My investigation will emphasise on the changes in film (how they have changed and who revolutionised the film industry)
Do Hollywood producers rely too heavily on over sexualised scenes


·         Who: From my research I have understood that one of the most influential people who revolutionised film is Hitchcock. He pioneered the use of camera forcing viewers in engaging in a form of voyeurism. An example of this is the film Pscho. 
As you can tell by the poster it relies on voyeurism due to the camera shots.

·         My investigation will also look at the standards of Hollywood films and the context of films made today.

Media Texts

·         American Pie
·         Psycho
·         Scream Sequels

Production Piece

A possible production piece could be a radio styled production were standards and quality of movies would be discussed. It will pay attention on audience and what they expect from films today. Also what audience now feel is acceptable to watch in terms of age ratings.
Has what is allowed to be shown in movies rated 15 changed? Today films such as American Pie have nudity which is technically according to the age ratings acceptable for children to watch.
