The concept of the theory is how the audience view the way females and males are represented in the media.
Mulvey came up with the idea that when you watch a music video or a film, you have to view it as if you are a heterosexual man.
The theory can be split into three factors:
- How men look at women.
- How women look at themselves.
- How women look at other women.
Some of the features that link to the Male Gaze theory would be that women are portrayed as objects, and experience narrative second-hand, the camera has to highlight the shape of a women's body to the audience and there has to be a reaction from a man.
