Complete a detailed micro analysis of
ONE scene from our FOCUS FILM
Write the first paragraphs of your FM3
Small Scale Research Projects
Research
In her theory ‘Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema’, Laura Mulvey
states:
“In a world ordered by sexual imbalance, pleasure in looking has been split
between active/male and passive/female. The determining male gaze projects
its phantasy on to the female form which is styled accordingly.
In their traditional exhibitionist role women are simultaneously looked at and
displayed, with their appearance coded for strong visual and erotic impact so
that they can be said to connote to-be-looked-at-ness.”
She goes on to say:
Women serve TWO functions within the narrative:
1. As an erotic object for the characters within the story
2. As an erotic object for the spectators within the auditorium
Researcg
Watch the following scene from Transformers and make notes on:
1. How are the micro elements used to ‘project the
male phantasy on to the female form?
2. What are the major differences between the way
the male and female characters are represented?
3. How does the female character connote ‘To-be-
looked-at-ness’?
4. Consider ALL MICRO ELEMENTS, not just camera
5. How is the female character an erotic object for
both the characters and the spectator?
Transformers
Dir: Michael Bay
2007
