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.
