Laura Mulvey’s ‘Male Gaze’ Theory is the idea that the audience are watching film through the eyes of a hetrosexual man. The scene tends to focus on the curves of a woman body, for example. The theory suggests that male gaze relates to the status of objects; men seeing women as if they are nothing more than an object of pleasure for them. As shown in "Make a Move On Me" by Joey Negro.
Looking at this theory, in relation to our music video we do not feel that the "Male Gaze" will be presents, this is because the actress within the video will only be playing a small part, the theory probably isn’t as significant as it could be but whenever the actress is on screen we will try to show her in an almost sexual way to engage our audience and provide both escapism and perhaps even relation while doing so.
Finally, we will attempt to create an equal balance between the dominance of the two characters, whilst trying to stick to the conventions of the ‘Male Gaze Theory’ as much as possible.
