Potentials

Still struggling with my essay concept: I decided to brainstorm a few more ideas that could have potential:

  • nation and identity
  • gender and identity
  • Choose something you are able to research well, so you may be specific
  • Anti-consumption
  • Fashion is the symbol of consumption, therefore has consumption become the main player in film as opposed to fashion
  • Can be a trend in body shape, a trend in make-up rather than a trend in clothing
Subcultures:
  • Subculture-triangle link between film, subculture, and fashion
  • Relationship between film as a promotional element for subculture
  • The idea of subculture as propelling a subculture
  • Subcultures infused in fashion eg. Doc Martens, on the catwalk
  • Consumption of subculture influenced fashion
  • Trends in fashion
  • Narrative around fashioning a subculture
  • Film propelling the subcultures looks
  • Themes in film-narrow down to some that are linked in lecture i.e keywords in subject outline
  • Film-Brief overview, or may be a particular part of the film that you wish to focus on
  • Nick Knight
  • Dick Hebdige
