Laura Mulvey Male Gaze Theory: Put into practice

In this scene the cinematography shows a close up of the woman's face and then cuts to the man, who is looking her up and down. She then suggests that she is going to change into something more comfortable and changes into a very revealing costume. This suggests that women are more comfortable being seen as objects.

This shot is self explanatory. The man is looking through the hole in order to see the woman get undressed.

In this scene we see a man who appears to be an important character knock on someones door. When the maid answers, he is quite rude to her. When he enters the propert we see the blonde mysterious woman behind bars dressed only in a towel. He is more polite to this woman. The low angle suggests that she is a prize, as prizes are often high up. We can't see the woman's face which doesn't allow the audience to make a personal connection with her, which shows her only importance in this scene is to look provocative.

In this video for She's so lovely, the first shot we see is the girl's feet. The lyrics say many manterialistic things about the girl, such as 'she looks just like them girls in vogue', which suggests that looking like a girl in vogue is the correct aim to have - which could have a negative impact on scouting for girls' target audience of young girls. It also says 'I like the way she fills her clothes'. All of these comments are about the girls physical appearance. 

We also see a close up of the girl biting her lip which contains sexual connotation. The moral of the video is that there are two men fighting over this girl, as she is the prize. She doesn't have an important role other than to look good. 

 This video, albeit a different genre, has the same kind of 'who will get the girl' theme. There are a lot of close ups that focus primarily on the girls body parts. The main girl is very fair and slim, and looks to be wearing expensive clothes were as the other female dancers are more voluptuous and wearing cheaper looking clothes. At the end of the video the main girl is left alone in the darkness as both of the men decided she wasn't worth it as she wasn't important enough. This shows that the girl is in the wrong, when she hasn't done anything.
