Research- Laura Mulrey
Laura Mulrey's theory on the Male Gaze, suggests that women who are in front of the camera are usually objectified by the male camera crew and this forms the idea of Voyeurism. This is the idea of looking in order to gain a sexual pleasure and therefore male viewer's gaze at the screen to notions of voyeurism, which relates to Andrew Goodwin's work. Furthermore, I feel that this is very common within music video's across a variety of different genres, especially in the Hip hop / Rap and Pop environment.
Music videos which support Mulrey's theory-
Iggy Azalea- Change Your Life featuring T.I:
Nicki Minaj- Super Bass:
Beyonce- Partition:
