Sexism and stereotypes
How does the camera reinforce roles?
Camera looking down on women but looking up at the man
Male gaze
-how women see themselves and other women
Women called Laura Malvey thinks in the film audience must see women in a hetro sexual make way
Puts women lower down In society as they are seen as sexual objects
Objectifying women through camera angles
A lot of shots are used to emphasise sexual treatment of women
Seen through make eyes
Alpha female
Highest female in the office
-leads other women
-camera always follows alpha female in the scene
Most camera angles look down at other women but up at alpha female showing superiority
Other people portrayed as smaller
- equal to men in the scene
Action chick (post feminism)
Portraying women as masculine
-over exaggerating her masculinity
Doing something to be watched rather than to be looked at
Alpha male
-very direct and in control
-sizing all the men up, looking at the weakness of men
- looking at their bodies
Same camera angle as male gaze
- shows authority by beating up a man
Ill man and doesn't want to show his weakness
Isolated and alone
