Even though nowadays the gender gap in many industries is way more visualized than before, it seems to be far away from being over (just like this lockdown). Does this hold for the movie entertainment industry? Let's see...
In this post, we showed the first sketches that we draw to do this. This first visualization presents how many female and male actors have participated in leading roles across time:
And this is just for one genre, but we can already see that there are more men with leading roles! (the construction of the interactive genre is still under construction!. you can still check it on Vega here).
The second idea was to show the pattern of gender gap by the genre of the movie for each year. Sadly, this idea was cooler in our heads! but it's not so clear to follow and see patterns or make comparisons. Here I show you just a preview for four years, but handling 50 is not so easy. (you can see this attempt of visualization here)
Currently, we are still working on how to link the popularity of the movie with gender and see that trend over time. So far, seems like we have to drop the idea of working with little isotypes and this is how it looks:
We will keep you posted!
