Group Media Project
Section 1: Group 3

Title of Project: Body Image

Date of Presentation: Monday, April 25, 2011

Project Conception:
- The main thing that we want to explore when doing this topic is to aim at those who are about the same age as we are. We are going to focus on college students around campus, both boy and girl.
- We are going to explore the problems that these college students tend to go through and get their true outlook on what they perceive the ‘perfect body’ to be.

Questions when Interviewing:
- What do you think the perfect body image is?
- Give/Offer statistics on how the average woman is categorized compared to how those on the front page of magazines.
- Show the person being interviewed a picture of an ad and ask them their first impression of that picture and then ask them how it should be portrayed.

Literature Review:
- In developing our project we are going to be referring back to the ad and discussion form class on the topic ‘Killing us Softly’.

Project Method:
- Our group is going to explore college age students and get true opinions on how people see others in this day in time.
- We are also going to explore and use magazine ads as well as how women are used in music videos.
- We are also going to be using the student media center and are planning on using a video camera and microphone and implement these interviews into our powerpoint slide show which will be shown during our presentation.

Project Contribution:
- We hope to contribute in our classmates understanding of the project by addressing the reality of how body image is clearly being seen through the eyes of college students today.
Individual Group Member Tasks:
- Everyone decided that each group member will be responsible in asking the same questions to 2 different people (male/female).
