Above is a power point created by one of my peers in my media class, Laurel Reed. Which focuses on Laura Mulveys Male Gaze Theory.
This can be seen in current music videos such as Rihanna's 'work' music video's.
The Camera angles tilts up the body of the artist as she is singing, allowing the audience to see the curve of her body, through the deliberate camera movment.
The Mise en scene is also attributed to the male gaze in this scene, as it is low pink lighting which, which could be used to sexualise the female artist in the video. Also the framing of the scenes show that Rihanna is in the front the focus, however Drake is often close to center or always in view, signifying his importance.
In some scenes in our music video, we also complied to Laura Mulvey's 'Male Gaze Theroy' as the mise en scene of some scenes had the main protagonist dressed in simply a t-shirt, there are also some scenes in which the camera tilts up her body to show her curves. We chose to do this as it is a common convention in music videos and we decided to comply with this convention.
