Laura Mulvey’s Gaze Theory 
Representation Theory
This theory focuses on the sexualisation of women within music 
videos. 
Mulvey's states that women are there to be seen and that the use of 
camera work portrays them as sexual objects via shot types and 
movement. 
• How men look at women from images on a screen 
• How women look at themselves from those images 
• How women look at other women from those images 
She states that music videos emphasise curves of the female body. 
That they refer to women as mere objects rather than a person. Also, 
she says that this display of women is how men believe a woman 
should be perceived. 
Women are often sexualised and seen as objects – viewed based on 
sexual desire and the way they look. 
She states that from a heterosexual male, women are objects rather 
than possessors. 
She says that the woman is passive to the active gaze from males.
Stuart Hall’s Reception Theory
He states that media texts are encoded by the producer 
• Whoever makes the text fills the product wit values and messages 
• The text is decoded by spectators 
• Different spectators will decode the text in different ways, not 
always in the way the producer intended. 
Reception Theory 
Producer encodes 
message/meaning 
Dominant or 
preferred 
Negotiated 
Oppositional
