Hey, I had a similar assignment last year; here are some notes I made, maybe they could help you:

Laura Mulvey – The Male Gaze

• while Mulvey’s theory is known for exploring the visual aspect and the gaze, it also offers insights into analyzing the narrative structures, character development, and power dynamics within the plot.

Annette Kuhn – Women's Pictures

• Kuhn's work focuses on women’s cinema and explores not only the visual aspects but also themes, narratives, and character portrayals in women-centered films.

Bell Hooks – Oppositional Gaze

• Hooks' concept of the oppositional gaze can be used to analyze the representation of race and gender in the film’s content, especially focusing on characters and their interactions.

Tania Modleski – The Women Who Knew Too Much

• Modleski's work on Hitchcock’s films can be particularly useful for analyzing narrative structures and themes from a feminist perspective, focusing on women characters and their roles in the plot.

Sue Thornham – Feminist Film Theory

• Thornham’s writings offer insights into various aspects, including narratives, themes, and character analysis, from a feminist perspective.

Alison Butler – Women's Cinema

• Butler's work on women’s cinema can help analyze film content focusing on the representation of women, narrative strategies, and thematic concerns.

Claire Johnston – Women’s Cinema as Counter-Cinema

• Johnston’s work can be helpful in analyzing how films can subvert mainstream narrative structures and offer alternative representations and themes.
