The male gaze theory is suggesting that women are objectified by men and are used to benefit the pleasure of men. ]]> 2017-11-01 12:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bethyallen18/xte0ju7xvzyn/wish/202449233 bethyallen18 https://padlet.com/bethyallen18/xte0ju7xvzyn/wish/202450477 If you are to gaze at something it means you stare at something with huge intention and interest for a lengthily period of time. ]]> 2017-11-01 12:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bethyallen18/xte0ju7xvzyn/wish/202450477 bethyallen18 https://padlet.com/bethyallen18/xte0ju7xvzyn/wish/202451846 As soon at the video begins playing we see a medium shot into a zoom which magnifies one of the singers (Ariana Grande) in a playsuit in all white. In the background there is a woman in shorts and a tight top. Showing one of the features of the theory which is 'women as image.' Although this isn't showing the male gaze theory it is inferring that it is the intention of this shot and the costume choice.]]> 2017-11-01 12:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bethyallen18/xte0ju7xvzyn/wish/202451846 bethyallen18 https://padlet.com/bethyallen18/xte0ju7xvzyn/wish/202701272 We do see a contradiction of the Male gaze theory not long after we see another medium shot of the males in the video are costumed as workers in sleeveless tops and with tattoo's on their arms. this is promoting the opposite so a female gaze theory in which the males bodies are being used to become appealing to the female audience.  ]]> 2017-11-01 20:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bethyallen18/xte0ju7xvzyn/wish/202701272 bethyallen18 https://padlet.com/bethyallen18/xte0ju7xvzyn/wish/202703068 In this shot we see a zoom used to focus on the girls legs. this could be suggesting the use of scopophillia which means the satisfaction from looking at other peoples bodies. This infers that by focusing on women's legs it may be trying to satisfy the male audience however some people may criticize Laura Mulveys theory as if only relates to heterosexual people and not those that identify otherwise. ]]> 2017-11-01 20:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bethyallen18/xte0ju7xvzyn/wish/202703068
