Laura Mulvey

Laura Mulvey's male gaze theory is something I have considered whilst making our short film, it states that there is unequal relationship between women and men in film, with women being viewed purely as sexual objects - men view, women are viewed. I have demonstrated the difference below.



Mia from fish tank opposes this theory, as her character is not supposed to be visually admired and gazed upon but instead developed through her personality and life troubles.
As opposed to Mias mother, whos is extroverted and designed for male attention as well as her personality and characteristics.
