The male gaze – laura mulvey
Laura Mulvey coined the term "Male Gaze" to describe how audiences view characters from the perspective of a heterosexual male in films.

Laura Mulvey coined the term "Male Gaze" to describe how audiences view characters from the perspective of a heterosexual male in films. The Male Gaze theory suggests that women are denied human identity and are instead viewed and presented as objects to be admired based on their physical appearance. Key aspects of the Male Gaze include the camera lingering on female curves, events being presented through a man's reaction, and women existing primarily in relation to men in the narrative.
Laura Mulvey's media theory
Laura Mulvey introduced the concept of the "Male Gaze" in 1975, which refers to how audiences view characters in film from the perspective of a heterosexual male. The Male Gaze objectifies women by lingering on their bodies and presenting events through a man's reaction. It relegates the female viewer to experience the narrative secondarily by identifying with the male perspective.
Mulvey's Male gaze
Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze suggests that in traditional films, the camera adopts the perspective of the assumed male viewer by objectifying and sexualizing female characters. This objectification is achieved through techniques like lingering shots of women's bodies and by primarily featuring male protagonists that male audiences can relate to, which presents women as passive objects for the male gaze. The male gaze is viewed by feminists as how men look at women, how women look at themselves, and how women look at other women in films.
The male gaze theory
Mulvey analyzed how women are portrayed as objects of male gaze in media. She believed that women are presented to be looked at by men through the use of cameras that emphasize women's bodies and sexuality. Mulvey discussed how both men and women view other women based on their physical appearance and as sexual objects that conform to male desires rather than as people.

The male gaze theory - media
The document discusses Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze. Mulvey proposed that in films, the audience is positioned to view characters and scenes from the perspective of a heterosexual male gaze. This objectifies women and denies their humanity by portraying them as objects to be looked at for visual pleasure. According to Mulvey, women in films are often depicted through conventions like lingering shots of their bodies to appeal to the male gaze. Their roles exist to further the narrative of male characters and they are viewed as passive objects under the control of the male gaze.
Male gaze and art
This document discusses how feminism uses Marxist concepts to analyze the imbalance of power between men and women in society. It explains that according to Marxism, economic factors like ownership of capital lead to power and autonomy. The traditional division of labor designated men for paid work and women for unpaid domestic work, making women economically dependent on men. This established an unequal power dynamic that was then naturalized through culture. The document also examines how the male gaze in art history portrayed women as objects for male sexual desire and scrutiny, reinforcing patriarchal gender roles and norms. It analyzes how feminist art criticism seeks to make these power imbalances visible and achieve greater gender equality.

Women are typically shown as sexual objects for male gratification or in stereotypical roles like wives and mothers.

While Mulvey's theory focused on film, some note its presence in other media where the female body is unnecessarily sexualized.

It argues that mainstream narrative cinema manipulates visual pleasure by coding eroticism into the dominant patriarchal order. It presents the concepts of scopophilia, or pleasure in looking, and discusses how cinema positions women as the passive, erotic object of the male gaze for both characters and spectators. The male protagonist controls events and coincides with the active, erotic power of the male spectator's gaze.

In what ways does your media school magazine
The student's school magazine develops conventions of real media products by using direct gaze from models on the front cover to create a relationship with readers, similar to an example magazine. However, the school magazine is more formal than the example due to its theme and target age group. It challenges conventions by featuring three models instead of one. The magazine aims to attract six form students by featuring topics like "university time" and displaying diverse, powerful representations of women rather than stereotypical portrayals. The student learned to further develop Photoshop and Prezi skills from constructing this magazine.

The document summarizes an interview with the British rock star Cora about her new album "Don't Let Me Go" and the changes she has made to her image and music style. Cora explains that the album was meant to show her desire to become a better person for her daughter and husband after past mistakes hurt them. While some fans criticize her new "Adele-like" sound and more feminine image as departing from her usual hardcore rock style, Cora says she wants to continue producing both types of music and hopes to gain new fans while keeping her old ones. She sees the album as portraying the good and bad parts of life but ultimately expressing her love for family.
Magazine convention through time
The document discusses conventions followed in rock music magazine covers from the 1960s to the 1990s. It notes that covers commonly used black colors as a symbol of energy and mystery. They also featured models with direct gazes to create a connection with readers. Repeated use of red and white in the color schemes aimed to represent the music genre. Fonts with hard corners conveyed a hardcore theme and sense of adrenaline to engage readers.

In here I started my magazine project by analysing school magazines and planning my own front cover school magazine.
Magazine name idea
The document discusses several potential names and fonts for a rock music magazine project. It considers names like "Vigorous", "Metallica", and "Sweet Emotion" and their associations with power, energy, and emotion. Various fonts are also discussed in terms of their similarity to horror movies or newspapers and their connotations of danger, violence, and mystery. Feedback from a survey of 29 people on different font options is mentioned to help decide which design would be most attractive to the target audience.
Photos analysis
The author found Courtney Love's photoshoot in Elle magazine inspirational because Love looked like a goddess of rock music. This is what the author wanted to portray in their own magazine aimed at women. The author analyzed an image they were considering and felt it successfully represented the rock genre through the model's direct gaze, ripped tights, heavy boots, and choker necklace. While some body is shown, the model is not sexually objectified. The image portrays the dangerous atmosphere of a rock music magazine alongside female nature.
Final work
The document summarizes an interview with the famous British rock star Cora about her controversial new album "Don't Let Me Go" and her desire to change her image. Cora explains that through her new album, she wanted to show a more emotional side and present herself as someone who has love in her life, in an effort to become a better person for her daughter and husband after past mistakes nearly cost her their relationships. She also says she will continue making both classical rock music and her new style, and hopes to find success in different genres. Overall, Cora expresses her wish to evolve as an artist but still care for her fans, while prioritizing improving herself for the sake of her family.
Layout of my magazine
This document discusses layout options for a music magazine. It proposes Layout 1 as the best option, as it clearly displays necessary information like the title, cover lines, date, price and barcode in an organized manner. Layout 1 is also influenced by the layout of "Classic Rock" magazine, which has a similar high-quality style with few cover lines on the front page. Though another layout is influenced by "Elle" magazine, the author feels Layout 1 is better for a rock music magazine as it avoids being too feminine and allows exploring new technical skills.

A final front cover design is presented using a main image of students with direct gazes, cover lines in matching fonts, and colors chosen for their symbolic meanings. Potential contents page layouts are also presented, with notes on refining the design to appear neater. The process of editing images and designing pages is described. Lessons learned include using appropriate backgrounds and the benefits of Photoshop over other editing tools.

The document summarizes an interview with the famous British rock star Cora about her controversial new album "Don't Let Me Go" and her desire to change her image. Cora explains that through her new album, she wanted to show a more emotional side and present herself as someone who has love in her life, in an effort to become a better person for her daughter and husband after past mistakes nearly cost her their relationships. She also says she will continue making both classical rock music and her new style, and hopes to find success in different genres. Overall, Cora expresses her wish to grow as a person for the sake of her family while still caring about her fans.
Magazine Analysis
During this project I research different magazines front covers, in order to understand different features used.
Survey analysis
The survey results showed that the target audience for the music magazine is mainly female teenagers aged 16-18 who enjoy classic rock and heavy metal music. Most respondents said they do not currently read music magazines but enjoy Kerrang magazine. To appeal to this audience, the magazine should feature modern rock music content, have an appealing design with good images, and be affordable for teenagers. It will aim to emulate Kerrang magazine's success at attracting this demographic while exploring a wider range of rock music genres.
Analysing contents page
This document analyzes the visual elements and conventions used in the contents page of a rock music magazine. It discusses how the mid-shot of the model creates a closer relationship with readers. Dark colors and tattoos on the model follow conventions representing the rock genre. Details like the publication date and issue number help readers find the magazine. Elements like the model's dress, hair, and pose suggest a natural yet mysterious style that aligns with the magazine's genre. The use of a guitar and other symbols further represent the rock music theme.
Andrew goodwin’s music video theory
Andrew Goodwin identified 6 key aspects that are often featured in music videos: 1) A relationship between the lyrics and visuals, 2) Seeing the sound through beats and editing, 3) Genre-related style and imagery, 4) Close-ups to promote the artist's star persona, 5) Voyeurism especially in representing female artists, and 6) Intertextual references to other media. Music videos can anchor the meaning of a song for viewers and promote the artist, but they also risk objectifying artists, especially women.

The Male Gaze Theory - Laura Mulvey
Laura Mulvey introduced the Male Gaze theory in 1975, suggesting that women are typically presented as objects to be viewed sexually from a heterosexual male perspective in films. The theory examines how audiences perceive people, especially women. When viewed through a feminist lens, the Male Gaze can be seen through how men look at women, how women see themselves, and how women view other women. Features of the Male Gaze in music videos include the camera lingering on the female body and events involving women being presented through a man's reaction.

Laura mulvey male gaze theory l1
Laura Mulvey developed the influential Male Gaze theory, which proposes that in film and media, the audience is positioned to view scenes and women from the perspective of a heterosexual man. This denies women their identity and reduces them to objects for the male gaze. Mulvey also suggests that women can only watch films from a secondary perspective and view themselves through a man's eyes. The theory argues that media perpetuates patriarchal ideals by masculinizing the viewer and objectifying and sexualizing female characters.
Laura Mulvey - The Male Gaze
Laura Mulvey developed the theory of the male gaze in 1975. The male gaze refers to how audiences are forced to view certain people, especially women, from a heterosexual male perspective. Key aspects of the male gaze include the camera lingering on women's bodies, portraying women in the context of men's reactions, and relegating women to the status of objects for the male viewer. However, the male gaze has been criticized for not accounting for women who enjoy being observed in this way, such as at beauty pageants, and for overlooking non-sexual gazes between people of the same gender related to body image or fashion.
Laura Mulvey’s Male gaze theory
The male gaze theory proposes that in film and media, the camera adopts the perspective of a heterosexual male viewer. It objectifies and sexualizes women by lingering on their bodies and presenting them as objects for the male gaze. Women are portrayed as passive objects for the male characters and the audience, while men are depicted as active and dominant. The theory suggests that media socializes both men and women to view women as objects that exist for the pleasure and reactions of men.

Laura Mulvey was a feminist who coined the term "the Male Gaze" to describe how women are often objectified in film and advertising for the viewing pleasure of heterosexual men. Mulvey argued that women are typically denied a human identity and are instead admired only for their physical appearance. Films and media are often crafted through the perspective of a male viewer, with women having little importance beyond how they make men feel. Examples like the James Bond series demonstrate visual pleasure and the male gaze through the use of women to seduce both the characters and the audience.

Laura mulvey
Laura Mulvey was a feminist film theorist who argued that mainstream films portrayed women as objects of male erotic desire based on Freudian psychoanalysis. She believed this reflected a patriarchal society where men are the dominant gender and women lack agency. An example is Transformers, where Megan Fox's character is sexualized through revealing clothing despite having a male-oriented job, reinforcing her role as an object for male characters and the audience. Mulvey's "male gaze" theory described how the camera focuses on female bodies and forces both male and female audiences to view films from a male perspective.

The male gaze theory
Laura Mulvey developed the theory of the "male gaze" which argues that cinema and media are typically constructed from the perspective of the heterosexual male viewer. This results in the objectification and sexualization of women on screen for the pleasure and empowerment of male audiences. According to Mulvey, women are portrayed as objects to be looked at rather than active subjects. This reinforces the traditional patriarchal idea that men are active viewers while women are passive objects to be looked at. Examples of the male gaze include the framing of women's bodies and emphasis on their sexuality in many films.

Mulvey argues that films are constructed based on patriarchal ideals that portray women as sexual objects to be looked at. Traditionally, films give men active roles that drive the narrative, while women play more passive roles as erotic objects that slow down the plot. Mulvey incorporates Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalytic ideas to analyze how Hollywood films from the 1930s-1950s encoded the male gaze and fetishized women for the gratification of male audiences.
