Male Gaze Task





Choose a music video of your choice and analyse using the male gaze theory.
  • Think about the relationship between the singer and the audience.
  • How does the singer look at the audience?
  • How does the audience look at the singer?
  • What is the audience looking at?
  • Is the representation (costume, make up etc) provocative in any way? If so how? Why is the representation provocative? Is it necessary?
  • Comment on the notion of power in the video. Who has the most power - is it the singer or the audience or a bit of both?
