Throughout the course so far, you have been exposed to many technology concepts and industries. A key thread among the industries is how technical innovation helps organizations innovate, integrate, and thrive. Many organizations start by addressing problems by creating a business use. A business will create a use case in the following manner:

  • They identify a business problem.
  • Next, they identify all the shortcoming in that business .
  • The organization will look for business and technical solutions that can solve the focused problem.
  • The organization will then identify the cost associated with the business problem.
  • The organization then creates a plan based on all the collective factors addressed in the previous bullets mentioned.

    • You must explain – the what, how, why for each.
  • What is the cost associated with the innovation?
  • What do you foresee the outcome to be should the organization implement the blockchain technology innovation?

Social Media personas that prefer drinking Coca-Cola every day.

Interim Report 1

 

Social Media personas that prefer drinking Coca-Cola every day.

 

Reference:

Coca-Cola Numerator Brand Snapshot

https://snapshot.numerator.com/brand/cocacola

 

 

1. That information I found help me a lot to build those social media personas, I can easily find that people under age 24 and higher than 44 are more likely to buy Coca-Cola, and then the Hispanic people are more likely to purchase Coca-Cola. And it explains the consumer into different perspectives like Demographics, brand affinity, Channels shopped etc.

Reference:

Coca-Cola numerator Brand Snapshot, https://snapshot.numerator.com/brand/cocacola

2. Firstly, we can easily find the followers from each social channel to find which is the most effective platform to use, and which is the one we need more improvement. Secondly, social media audit will help us find the engagement metrics for each post and top performing posts, so we can find what kind of post that people like the most. And thirdly, we can check the average reactions and what kind of reactions people have on each post.

3. For the latest post from Coca-Cola Facebook, some reactions or comment are bad, for example, “Be less Coke” and a Pepsi picture below it; “You love your fans so long as they aren’t white”; “I remember when their slogan was ‘I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony’. Guess those days are gone. Most people are mad for Coca-Cola.

Imagine you had to put together a time capsule that represented today’s world.

Gender and Film

By Luke Huffman

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Imagine you had to put together a time capsule that represented today’s world.

What movies would you chose?

What do your choices say about your view of sex and gender?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gender in the Movies

Film has the power to communicate gender roles

It does through blatant messaging on the roles women and men play in society and how we communicate in relationships

There can also be subtle messaging on gender roles, that is repeatedly is more likely to sink in on some level and affect us, especially on children

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gender and film behind the screen

Of top 100 grossing films of 2019, women represented:

10.7% of directors

19.4% of writers

24.3% of producers

70% of editors

Top 250 grossing film, 6% of composers were women

Only one woman has won the Academy Award for best director (Kathryn Bigelow) and only five have ever been nominated (Lina Wertmuller, Jane Campion, Sofia Coppola, Bigelow, and Greta Gerwig)

43 of the top 100 grossing films had females as the lead or co-lead

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tootsie

An actor with a reputation for being difficult dresses in drag in order to get work on a soap opera. When he lands the part, he has to keep up the act and struggles with his feelings for his female co-star

When Michael eventually reveals himself, the viewers had become so attached to Dorothy, his female persona, that they were going to miss her, not Michael

The film also fulfilled fantasy of walking in the other sex’s shoes – seeing how they were treated and greeted, and to know someone without accompany romantic feelings at first

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tootsie contd.

The film somewhat illustrates the theme of gender-bending, with how Michael comes to grips with his masculinity and femininity

Book’s use of gender bending is not limited to drag but a way of thinking about gender

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thelma & Louise

Groundbreaking gender-bending film about two friends that embark on road trip that ends in unforeseen circumstances

Audiences felt complex emotions with many aspects of the movie, with some feeling odd applauding revenge

The female leads being shown in dominant images and radical behaviors, while male characters were portrayed in an atypical fashion

Some thought it was a way of male bashing, thinking women were winning a war against male oppression and retaliating against unacceptable male behavior

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thelma and Louise contd.

This is a gender-bent message taken to the extreme

Scholars felt that the film commented on relationships in the 90s, with depicting women’s desperation, and women who counter powerlessness with extreme actions but are still powerless in a patriarchal system

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gender Bending or Society Shifting?

In today’s cinema, film roles for men, women, and non-binary people of varying identities, orientations, ages, ethnicities, and abilities have never been more diverse with more diverse roles to come

There are still a lot of work to be done for proper representation in gender, as well as other demographics

What, if any, film roles have changed your perception of gender? Was this a portrayal of gender bending or just a societal shift? Are these gender bent roles or reflections of our expanding view of what’s acceptable behavior for men and women?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Non-Binary/Genderfluid on Film

Well-Known people in the industry that identify as non-binary, genderfluid, or other gender identities: Cara Delevingne, Indya Moore, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Lachlan Watson, Jill Soloway, Amandla Stenberg, Ezra Miller

Television in recent years has done a better job of representing those who identify outside of male and female gender binary, while film has lacked for any characters that identify non-binary

Number characters are rising but are often side characters, given little screen time, or are in throw away scenes compared to male and female characters

Trans, Non-binary, or genderfluid characters are also often protrayed by binary gendered actors i.e. The Danish Girl

 

 

 

 

 

 

Conclusion

The way film has depicted and represented genders, especially women and non-binary characters, has improved but still lacks behind in true proper representation

As with people working behind the camera, there has also been a rise but is still significantly small compared to male counterparts

The film industry has never been more diverse but there are still a significant amount of work to be done in order to reach proper representation
