Content Outline

Second Section:

• Discussion of articles that have been written on the subject with commentary from writers, producers and directors on the topic
• My personal commentary on how this affects those entering the work force, even outside of Hollywood.

Comment to Viewers: Again, my video editing software does not allow m to just save and make a link for one part of the video, so I will be providing the script to that part.

Script of Section 2:

• Clips from the roundtable of several studio executives discussing the topic of gender pay disparity.
• "This has become such a problem in the entertainment industry that you have so many women now starting to realize their worth and how much they should be getting paid compared to their male counterparts, that studio executives are willing to pay stars like Jennifer Lawrence much more than they would have originally offered because they see the value of her work and how big of a following she has in the entertainment world."
• Comment from executive Tom Rothman from Sony, that he was more than happy to pay Jennifer Lawrence $20 million for her upcoming movie with them considering her box office numbers.
• "Anybody that's lucky enough to have Jennifer Lawrence in a movie, should be more than happy to write the check."
• Clip of 20th Century Fox CEO, Stacey Snider stating that women "often fall into the pit of wanting to be likeable or nice, whereas men don't seem to have this issue.
• My own comments and statistics from data collected by writer John Green
• "The real pay gap, which has no explained economic reasoning is actually around 4-8%. That's just for the average woman. This can be grossly different from women in Hollywood, who may even be paid less than half that of their male counterpart like what Sienna Miller faced, where she actually ended up walking away from a play due to that very reason. No matter how small the percentage may seem however, it still exists, and women lose $240,000,000 every year to gender discrimination. So how small is that 4% difference now?"
