Mulvey

mulvey's theory focuses on the male gaze and specifically how its used to demistify women. the way mainstream hollywood worked at the time of mulvey was very male dominated, in fact you could argue the men were actually scarred of the women and used films as a way to keep women depowered in society, whilst the lack of women in important roles was one way hollywood attempeted to lessen them another main method they used was turning women into objects, the camera was being pointed from a straight mans perspective and thus would fetishise the women, this was to expose and demistify the woman, the idea of a woman in power was scary to the men so by either objectifying them or exposing every aspect of them phsyically it would show the audience who were meant to share the view point of the straight males in charge of the film that there was nothing to fear we can see a somewhat modern example of this theory in practise in the 2007 film transformers by micheal bay a man who likes barely clothed women almost as much as he likes explosions

megan foxes outfit here reveals most of her body, this links to the idea of physically exposing women to demistify them. the way the camera is postioned hides her face as that would humanise her and instead focuses on her boobs as a way to objectify her character.
