Representation and Voyeurism blog post

Voyeurism -This idea comes from Freud, and has been much used in Media Studies, particularly in explaining the gendered pleasures of cinema. Broadly it refers to the idea of looking in order to gain sexual pleasure. It has been argued that the male viewer’s gaze at the screen is geared to notions of voyeurism in that it is a powerful controlling gaze at the objectified female on display. In music promos the female on display has been a staple element.
a) Blogpost: find an example of the male gaze and illustrate how the combination of camerawork and editing serves to objectify the female body.
b) Blogpost: find an example of the contrary (opposite) situation that is, sexual objectification of the male.
