I chose a music video that i thought we could apply the Male gaze theory to. At the very begining of the video it features a girls stomach where a close up shot it used. This is used to grab the attention of the audience as it appeals to many males. A long shot is also included to show a girl walking towards the camera, she is wearing a very small bikini which shows off her body. She also has a small tattoo towards the lower abdominal part of her body, this draws attention to her stomach. This is effective as it captures her whole body and shows her figure off. Both women and men want to see this as women aspire to look like that and men want their girlfriends to look like that. When she enters the gates the man on the door stares at her, and this is representing a stereotypical male. This is relating to Laura Mulveys theory as she said the media is viewed from the propspective of a hetrosexual male.
