Final Project Research Question
For the final essay, currently, I have a few ideas in mind.
1.
Analyse the reality TV programme "Love Island" and discuss its' impact on society.
Love Island is a British dating reality show started in June 2015, since then it was aired every summer with a brand new season. It was surprisingly successful and almost every millennial has either heard or watched an episode or two, some even watch it worshipfully.
However, after following a few series as a personal 'guilty pleasure', I began to wonder exactly how 'real' is this reality dating show? Are these people really just general ordinary folks or, they were cast, in other word, auditioned? Love Island creates an entire industry behind, contestants who went on the show became famous easily afterwards, however, there were incidents that a few committed suicide after internet bullying. Does this show provide a healthy body image? Does this show help to tackle gender inequality issue? Should reality TV to present the ugly truth or instead, to make an effort of making a better society?
Techniques I'll probably use:
video clips, interviews with online fans, video-essay form
2.
Since I have planned a trip to the UK this Christmas, I will be filming everything and if it turns out can be an interesting project then I'd be more than happy to go with this idea. However, it does seem slightly difficult to actually analyse a trip thus I'd like to discuss with professor furthermore in this case.
