It shows how women are nearly always shown from a man's perspective. This is due to the mainly male run industry and the views of men being portrayed in film because of this.

There are 3 persectives to think about:
-the producer
-the audience 
-the male characters

Producer:
Due to the producers of media texts dominantly being male, we are more likely to see women from that male perspective. The camera will often show longer shots showing the curves of a female body.

The audience:
Media producers know that "sex sells" so will often show women to be just 'eye candy' for male viewers.

Male Characters:
It is also argued that female characters are often portrayed to be there just for male characters to look at. It's almost like the males in the audience are sharing a joke with the male characters in film when they objectify women by looking at their bodies.
