Alpha Male

Camera angle shows he is sizing the others up

Beats him up to show authority

He goes alone to show his weakness and it is a high camera angle to make the character look small.

Effect of camera angles "Male Gaze"

The idea of the male gaze is how the audience views the people presented

For feminists it can be thought of in 3 ways
-How women think men look at them
-How women see them selves
-How women see other women

A woman called Laura Malvey made the term "the male gaze" in 1974. She thinks that in film audiences must see the characters from a hetrosexual males POV

The camera shows the curves on the female body and however the men react is how a female wants to be seen as. It puts women lower down in society because they are seen as sexual objects.

Objectifying the female is through a combination of camera works and editing. A lot of body shots are used emphasising the sexual treatment of the character.

The sex object as a whole is a stereotype of provocative women made into a reality as shown through male eyes.
