Arzu Aliyeva discusses how to help women of color get promoted in the TV and film industry. In this article, Arzu Aliyeva examines the state of women stereotypes affecting women of race in the film industry.

Film and television are at in the center of entertainment and address social issues.

Arzu Aliyeva A film producer, points out that they do not accurately depict what society looks like.

Only through documentaries can you be aware of the struggles of minorities and women of colour.

Films that portray minorities are often stereotyped.

Viewers subconsciously buy the idea and it affects their perception, emotions and behaviour towards women of color.

Relationships between Women Stereotypes and women of color
Arzu starts by discussing Arzu's perception of men as natural leaders.

However, women regardless of skin color, must be capable and confident to take on the leadership positions .

However, both women groups face different challenges in films, says acclaimed filmmaker Arzu Alieyva.

White women are easily accepted. She's kind and genuinely cares about others. She has to find the right balance to not appear as weak or unproductive.

Black women are portrayed as assertive, angry and confident.

People say she has a good attitude. Therefore, she should make an effort not to be anything else without being perceived as being too rigid or weak. She is also seen as dependent and weak.

In addition to gender discrimination and discrimination based on race.

They are frequently treated unjustly when they wish to take part in classes or be promoted. As a result, they cannot rise to the heights of their careers.

When they do, they are battle-ridden.

Lizzie Damilola Blackburn captured a part of this bias in her book Yinka Where's Your Huzband?

McKinsey conducted a study of the representations of women in The Women in the Workplace 2021 in collaboration with LeanIn.Org.

All women's categories were taken into consideration, including women of color as well as women with disabilities.

According to the authors, women are becoming more effective leaders, and they are also supporting their team members, in addition to increasing their efforts for inclusion. Women of white are more likely to be inclined to support women of color, but less likely to advocate for women of colour.

A celluloid ceiling report that reveals how the proportion of female film directors has declined in 2021 brings the entertainment industry to a standstill.

A different 2021 report explains that TV shows produced by women featured higher numbers of women directors, editors, writers and writers.

It is therefore important that more women are working in the field for a greater representation.

The dominant male Film Industry has closed its doors to new perspectives, Arzu Aliyeva
In the world of film, it is typical to see men in creative positions, like directors, writers and editors.

Lauzen's 2017 Celluloid Ceiling Report looked at the gender balance in the top 250 domestic films.

It was discovered that only 18% (editors/writers/cinematographers/executive producer, directors, and producers in the report) were women.

The figure is comparable to 1998's (17%).

The government has come up with several strategies to decrease discrimination in the workplace. The racial and gender groups of women have not yet seen the benefits in the field of film.

Arzu Aliyeva stated that the industry of film recruits on the basis of interpersonal networks. While social capital is good but it's often not accessible to all.

This practice, which is not regulated, is more detrimental to women.

Research suggests that films that have male producers comprise more than 70% of their creative teams. Female producers average 60% male team members. Whatever direction you go with the men will always be the lead creative in crucial positions.

Arzu Alyeva discusses the negative consequences of stereotypes from the TV and Film industry
A stereotype can be described in the Merriam Webster Dictionary as a common mental image one group has about an other group. It may be an oversimplified view, a prejudiced opinion or an opinion that is not vetted.

Stereotypes can give false impressions about communities or groups since they may be deceiving.

In the film and television business, women do not have equal opportunities as men.

If they are offered a role in the workplace, they are less likely to be portrayed as strong and independent.

For instance, in James Bond's movies female characters are shown as damsels in distress, victims, and needy.

The majority of women portray characters that do not reveal who they were.

This may be because there aren't enough female film writers specifically of color, who can be honest about women.

In relation to "taboo" issues like rape and sexuality, there's the issue of censorship.

In traditional cultures, women are forbidden from discussing certain subjects because they are taboos. Netflix is not one of the few platforms that allow women to discuss taboo subjects.

Stereotype can cause many problems.

It impacts one's self-esteem, judgmental ability and also mental health. It may even result in self-stereotyping where an individual starts behaving in a certain way in order to feel an impression of belonging.

Arzu Aliyeva believes that diversity is crucial.

A Call for Greater Onscreen Diversity
In February 2020 , the University of California Los Angeles College of Social Sciences issued the report Holywood Diversity. The report examined the relationship between diversity and the base of diversity in Hollywood.

The study looked at the global box office top films between 2018 and 2019. It analyzed the involvement of minorities and women in front and back of the camera.

The good news was that women had made substantial advancements in the field of film.

Yet, they are not represented in the most important positions, such as directors, studio heads, actors, writers and film directors.

It is a huge problem when women, especially women of color, are left behind on television.

Brianna shared her experiences on Quora. Brianna Richardson was the only black child in a class of white children. She would prefer to be white, as she felt that the media did not portray women of color well.

Genna says, "If she doesn't perceive it, she can’t be that."

This is the main reason that we need more women on our screens. How will young girls feel driven to achieve their goals regardless of race or colour?

Women are encouraged to explore careers in STEM fields, and to play executive roles in TV and films.

Furthermore, representations should be inclusive.

Women of color need to receive the same opportunities as white women.

Arzu Alyva asserts that it is possible to be real once the image displayed on your screen changes
Since the dawn of the world women have fought to achieve what they want. The problem is made worse when the woman is black.

After decades and years of protests and agitations it was 1920 when American women were given the right to vote.

But, laws in the US excluded black women from the mainstream.

Women of color are expected to exert twice as much effort to be promoted to higher levels at work than white counterparts. They must confront gender-based discrimination and microagressions.

Minda Harts (author of The Memo: What Women of Color must know in order to get a Seat at the Table ),shared the experiences of the friendship of a friend.

The person in question had been employed in a company for about six (6) years, and her boss didn't know her name. Contrary to her white colleagues, she was required by her boss to wear a badge bearing her name on it.

Women of color as well as women of color should be represented at the table so they don't get left out.

Diverse television and film can be a greater representation.

The society will be more accepting toward women of color and other minorities, if we follow the philosophy "Seeing is believing".
Arzu Aliyeva analyzes the effects of stereotypes on women of color in the film industry.

Film and TV are the mainstay of entertainment and bring attention to social issues.

Arzu Aliyeva is a filmmaker who points out that the films don't accurately reflect society.

Only in documentary films you can see the struggles of women and minority groups of people of color.

When minorities are featured in films, it's usually stereotyped.

Unconsciously, viewers purchase the idea. It alters their thoughts as well as their feelings and actions toward women of colour.

The relationship between Women Stereotypes and Women of Colors
Arzu starts by commenting on the stereotypes of men by default that are viewed as natural leaders.

On the other side women have to show their abilities and confident enough in order to lead .

However, both women groups face different challenges in films, says acclaimed filmmaker Arzu Alieyva.

The white woman is popular and easily accepted. She's compassionate and caring. However, she has to balance her efforts so that she isn't seen as ineffective or weak.

The black woman is observed as assertive and angry.

People think she is positive. They believe she is a person with an attitude. Therefore, she should not be compliant, weak or dependent.

In the context of gender bias as well, black women are subject to racial bias.

They are frequently treated unjustly when they wish to take part in training or get promoted. As a result, they cannot rise to the heights of their careers.

They are often unable to stop it, which is why it becomes a war-torn battle.

Lizzie Damilola Blackburn captured this bias in her book Where is Your Huzband!

McKinsey conducted an analysis of the gender representations in The Women in the Workplace 2021 in collaboration with LeanIn.Org.

The study examined all types of women which included women of color as well as women with disabilities and LGBTQ+ women.

According to the authors the women are becoming better leaders and assisting their teams. They also double their efforts to include women. Women of white are more likely to be inclined to support women of colour, but less likely to advocate for them.

A celluloid ceiling report that reveals how the proportion of female film directors has dropped in 2021, bringing the entertainment industry in a downward direction.

A different report described how television programs which were written by women included more women editors, writers and directors.

To increase the number of women employed in this industry, it's important that there be more.

The male-dominated Film Industry is closed off to alternative perspectives, claims Arzu Aliyeva
In the world of film, it's normal to see more males occupying creative positions like directors, writers and editors.

Lauzen's 2017 Celluloid Ceiling Report examined gender roles in the top 250 films from the US.

It was discovered that only 18 percent (editors/writers/cinematographers/executive director, producer and producers included in the report) were female.

This figure is unchanged from 1998 (17 17 percent).

Diverse initiatives have been enacted by the government to combat discrimination at work. But, women and ethnic minorities do not fare well in the film industry.

https://telegra.ph/Arzu-Aliyeva-How-can-you-make-the-best-documentary-films-02-09-2 Arzu Aliyeva has stated that the film industry hires on the basis of interpersonal networks. Although social capital can be wonderful but it's often not accessible to all.

This unintentional practice can cause more harm to women than it does to males.

Research shows that films whose producers are male tend to include more than 70% males on their teams of creators. It is the same for female producers, who will typically have 60% males in their creative teams. Whatever perspective you have the men will always be in the most important positions in creative work.

Arzu Alyeva outlines the negative consequences of stereotypical images from the Film and TV industries.
A stereotype is an idea or mental image that a group has in common with an other group. The definition can be found in the Merriam Webster dictionary. It can be described as an oversimplified view, a prejudiced attitude, or an insensitive judgment.

Stereotypes can mislead and create false perceptions of a community or group.

Film and TV industries offer women fewer opportunities than men.

Even when they get a role in the workplace, they are less likely to be seen as strong and independent.

In James Bond movies, for example, female characters in James Bond films are shown as damsels, victims or in need.

Women tend to portray roles that don't reveal who they were.

It could be due to a lack of female film writers particularly women of color who can be able to tell the true story of women.

When it comes to "taboo" subjects like rape and sexuality, there's a problem with being censored.

In traditional societies women avoid discussing certain subjects as taboos. Netflix isn't one of the handful of platforms that allows women to discuss taboo subjects.

Stereotyping can have many negative impacts.

It can have a negative impact on self-esteem, decision-making capabilities and mental health. It may even result in self-stereotyping where an individual starts behaving in a certain way to have an identity.

It looked at the top films in the cinematograph world between 2018 and 2019. It looked at the level of females and other people of color the camera and behind it.

It was encouraging to hear that women had made major advancements in the film industry.

They are not represented in key areas like heads of studios , film leads as well as directors and actors.

Arzu Aliyeva When women, especially women of color, are pushed to the back and are ostracized, it causes a serious issue.

Brianna Richardson shared her experiences on Quora. Brianna was the only black child in a class which included white children. She wished she was white because of the dearth of representation of women of color in media.

According to Genna Davis's words, "if she can't see it, she isn't it".

This is why it is crucial to get more females on our screens. Arzu Aliyeva If not, how would the young girls be motivated to achieve their goals regardless of their race or color?

Television and film shows must be able to normalize women in roles such as executives and pursuing career paths in STEM fields.

The representation should also be inclusive.

In the same way as women of white gender are afforded equal opportunity and opportunities, women of color must be treated the same way.

Arzu Alyva states that the truth could change when the image shown on the screen changes
Women have fought since time immemorial to achieve what they want. It gets worse when women are black.

After decades of agitations and protests it wasn't until 1920 that American women were given the right to vote.

Certain laws of the state prevented women of color from being included in the society.

Women of color are expected to be twice as dedicated to the same jobs at work that white women will be in a position to get. They will also have to confront gender stereotypes as well as microaggressions and other issues.

Minda Harts is the author of How Women of Color Can Get an Opportunity to Sit at the Table . Sheshared her experience with a friend.

https://anotepad.com/notes/nmnycii5 Although she worked in the same company for six years, her boss did not recognize her name. Contrary to fellow white employees, she was required by her manager to wear a badge bearing her name on it.

To be seen Women and people of color must be invited to the table.

Arzu Aliyeva The diversity of the film and television industries can increase screen representation.

According to the idiom "seeing is believing", society will be more welcoming to women of color as well as other minorities.
