Women have been central to the film industry since its inception in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. From Nickelodeons to full-length feature films and from silent films to talkies, as writers, directors, actors, and audience members, women have influenced the trajectory of the film industry. Female stardom was an essential component of the rise of the industry, though many of these women were celebrated more for their appearances than for their acting ability.
While the popularity of certain female stars offered them legendary status, the kinds of roles they were asked to play often reinforced traditional gender roles. That story is the familiar one. This exhibit intends to reveal a lesser known part of the story. Women actually played a powerful role in shaping the early film industry. As both consumers of film and professionals in the field, both in front of and behind the camera, women dramatically affected the development of American film.

(Outfit in film opening)
Green parker coat - £50 H&M
Black leggings - £15 forever 21
Grey cardigan - £25 topshop
Red Vans - £50 office
Black bag - £15 New look
In total this outfit was worth £155, however we already had the coat and the vans. So we only purchased the leggings and grey cardigan for the footage. We chose to dress Charlotte in these clothes as it is quite a cold day, so it was important for her to rap up warm. The leggings are comfy for travelling which is what the two friends are doing in the opening as well as the red vans.
Charlotte is a very outgoing, kind and generous person. How ever she can be shy when meeting new people. She is funny and can always put a smile on her best friend Beth's face. Charlotte doesn't have a part time job but is currently studying legal secretary at college which she plans to get a career in.
Likes: Charlotte likes to socialise and loves to sing. She likes horses and spends a lot of time down the stables. She has an interest in music, she spends a lot of her spare time with her earphones in listening to her favourite artist Rihanna.
Dislikes: Charlotte has a phobia of spiders.
Background: Charlotte comes from a stable middle class background, she is supported by her parents but has additional financial help from her grandmother.
