1	Moderat's Rusty nails and Loie Fuller's Serpentine dance : analysis cloth, the body and movement as symbolic interpretation of meaning in film Coates, Maran January 2012 (has links) The main objective of the study is to explore how cloth, the body and movement are able to communicate possible symbolic meaning in Loïe Fuller’s Serpentine Dance film and Moderat’s Rusty Nails music video. The study further attempts to establish the characteristics of fashion film to include cloth, the body and movement and provide a methodology that locates fashion film as a sign system using a visual semiotic analysis framework. The films were then compared and contrasted to determine similarities and differences in their use of cloth, the body and movement. The findings from the film analysis suggest that cloth, the body and movement communicate symbolic meaning in the films based on their associated meanings that are generated both inside and outside the film context. By focussing on cloth, the body and movement as primary communicators (rather than secondary or supporting communicators) in film, new meanings can be interpreted from their interrelationship. The results inform new ways for fashion designers and fashion filmmakers to engage with cloth, the body and movement in fashion film. Fashion in motion pictures

3	Female Friendship Films: A Post-Feminist Examination of Representations of Women in the Fashion Industry Geloğullari, Gülin 12 1900 (has links) This thesis focuses on three fashion industry themed female friendship films: Pret-a-Porter/Ready to Wear (1994) by Robert Altman, The Devil Wears Prada (2006) by David Frankel, and The September Issue (2009) by R.J. Cutler. Female interpersonal relationships are complex – women often work to motivate, encourage and transform one another but can just as easily use tactics like intimidation, manipulation, and exploitation in order to save their own jobs and reputations. Through the lens of post-feminist theory, this thesis examines significant female interpersonal relationships in each film to illustrate how femininity is constructed and driven by consumer culture in the fashion industry themed films. fashion fashion industry fashion films post-feminism post-feminist theory women representations of women misrepresentations of women consumer culture film analysis female friendships female friendship films The Devil Wears Prada Pret-a-Porter/Ready to Wear The September Issue Robert Altman R.J Cutler David Frankel Angela McRobbie Karen Hollinger Tasker and Negra Anna Wintour Grace Coddington Vogue fashion magazines fashion reporters fashion and post-feminism women's relationships Fine Arts Women's Studies Journalism Prêt-à-porter (Motion picture) September issue (Motion picture) Devil wears Prada (Motion picture) Female friendship in motion pictures.
