Operation Redlight: Star Power Data

After you all finished up your presentations for Operation Redlight, we looked at some data about the actors that you chose to play the role of the protagonist.  Here's a recap of the data we observed:

8 out of 10 protagonists were white
1 out of 10 protagonists was black
1 out of 10 protagonists was Hispanic

8 out of 10 protagonists were male
2 out of 10 protagonists were female

This week, we'll be reading several articles surrounding the topic of Casting & Fate.  This theory, discussed thoroughly by George Gerbner, will guide our discussions for the rest of the semester.  Remember the IMDB scavenger hunt from today?  Who was frustrated looking for some of the items?  Ladies, how do you feel about Bella representing you TWICE on this list?  Keep a careful eye out, as always, and please post or email me real life examples of the theories we are studying in class.

Hasta la pasta,
