Ellen McGuirk 

BA [Hons] New Media Studies

My name is Ellen, a recent New Media Studies graduate. I completed my final year project on the perception of ultra-feminine identity. I am interested in video production, creative design, and film. I've always had an interested in creative hobbies and media, so exploring all my interests throughout this course was very beneficial for me and my pursuits.

'A Story of Hope', is a short documentary about the DIY Punk scene in the 90s in the Ireland, the Hope Collective's work within it.

This podcast is part of my blog on hyperfemininity. I chatted with Emily Cooke about her views on hyperfemininity, and her experience as a feminine person part of the gay community.
This image is part of my photoshop gallery in my blog. It is referring to stereotypical femininity or 'girly girls' and the aesthetic of hyperfemininity.
This is a short video I made exploring the 'not like other girls' trope in early 2000s teen films.
This photo piece is also part of my blog, it's a picture of myself deconstructing my facial features.
A Conversation on the Feminine

I am fascinated by the concept of hyperfemininity and how women are expected to fit in to specific boxes from as early as they can speak. My aim with this project is to prompt the reader/viewer to look inward at their own perceptions and attitude towards femininity.
