In Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema, Laura Mulvey argues that the gaze in films can only be male. Mulvey claims that if there is any female gaze, it is done through male identification as women do not have gaze of their own. The aim of this essay is to explore the possibility of female gaze and how it depicts power and gender in both films; Vertigo and The Piano. In The Piano, the film is mostly seen from Ada’s point of view which emphasises the spectator’s identification with her. Ada’s lack of voice can be seen as a symbol of her withdrawal from patriarchal society and women’s historical role of not having a voice.

This essay will argue that mainstream music reinforces the idea of women as sexual objects in the male gaze. Kitzinger has stated that “the sexual exploitation of women and children has played a key role in the history of the media” (2004) This essay will look at how this sexual exploitation is still relevant in modern mainstream music. This argument will be illustrated by drawing on the song/music video “Girls” by The 1975. (Powell, 2013). The band are of the alternative rock genre and use the video as a tool to emphasizes and critic how popular music portrays women. This will be highlighted by focusing on three main points. The parody to pop music videos; the use of costume and dance to sexualize and the focus on the youthful desire of sex

In 2009 she as ranked the fourth best selling artist. In 2010 she released her third album called "Cant Be Tamed." But in 2011 to 2012 Miley took a break from singing to work on her acting involving herself in multiple movies such as "The Last Song." In 2013 it was stated the "Mileys sexually explicit behavior generated widespread controversy while promoting her fourth album bangers." In 2015 Miley made her own album called "Miley Cyrus and her dead pets." Now in 2016 she is a couch on the tv show "The Voice." Miley is one of the most naturally talented and beautiful singers out there if i was her i would sit and look at myself in a mirror all

In the second section of Neale’s essay, he identifies two modes of looking: voyeuristic and fetishistic looking. Taking his cues from Mulvey, Neale explains the necessity of distance between spectator and spectacle in terms of voyeurism. Neale states that this distance “allows the spectator a degree of power over what is seen” (16). While, according to Ellis, fetishistic looking “implies the direct acknowledgement and participation of the object viewed” and “has much to do with display and the spectacle” (17). Neale states that “physical beauty is interpreted in terms of the female body,” and the female body is the “recipient of the spectators looks” (17). Meanwhile, Neale states that “the spectacle of male bodies [are] unmarked as objects

“Passivity, reticence, assuming that men and authority are probably right” (Gauntlett 2008, p.12) might be the stereotype of traditional femininity that women are often portrayed in mass media. In particular, Disney is often scrutinized against its representation of female: being weak with no specific talent. Different from most of the Disney productions, the main character of my chosen media ‘Hannah Montana the movie’ (Hannah Monanata: the Movie 2009), Miley, displayed her power and managed a double identity of superstar (being Hannah Montana) and ordinary girl (being Miley Stewart). This essay aims at analysing how the movie relates to the representation of social identity – femininity, particularly in a post-feminist context. To switch between two distinctive identities, how Miley dressed has become the key to identify her role in her life.

Miley Cyrus’s song “Wrecking Ball” is singing about her love trauma in her past relationship, she explains that it's ok not to have a stable relationship and it is fine to be distressed in one, she describes that everyone has a roller coaster as a partnership. The artist is justifying that even if you go through a hard point in life or a relationship that you are still strong no matter what the sum of it is in the end, she tries to reveal that it’s acceptable to hurt but you will still stay empowered. When she published the song in 2013, she wanted it to have an impact on many people with heart breaks. Miley interprets the “wrecking ball” as the hurt she is feeling and how excessive it is. So it primarily telling you that heartbreak is hard

With her video trilogy of her newest album 1000 Forms of Fear, Australian artist Sia Furler, known as Sia, unravels controversial changes to the way the stereotypical music video runs. So far Furler has created two videos: Chandelier and Elastic Heart, both receiving negative social and stigmatic comments of their concept questioning Furler’s artistry. Elastic Heart received the better hand in being the most controversial for its ‘pedophilia’ claims from society. However, Furler’s music video is anything but pedophilia and essentially addresses a well known issue in every individual.

In the one-hour documentary, Miley: The Movement, pop sensation Miley Cyrus grants viewers extraordinary access into her exuberant and spirited life as she ascends to the top of the iTunes chart with her album Bangerz. As a teenage Disney princess, Miley accumulated millions of devoted fans; now, just a few years later, Miley’s suggestive music videos and public displays have permanently replaced the blond wig of her childhood image with an original and controversial persona while at the same time embracing her passion: music.

The way in which women are portrayed in music videos has been an increasing concern among our society. Being a parent of a boy who loves music and watching music videos in particular, it was concerning to learn all the different themes and ideals that are thrusted into the minds of varying ages by music videos. Interestingly and contrary to some beliefs, these themes are represented in different genres of music; from hip-hop, rap, country and pop; the music industry is one of the most sexualized threats against our society. The most concerning aspect of these music videos is how women are portrayed. Women are seen as sexual beings, ones in which have no real meaning or purpose in music videos, yet they are placed throughout in a sexualized manner making them pieces of a bigger picture.

Women in film are often portrayed in a manner deemed pleasurable to the male viewer. Laura Mulvey takes this concept and dissects it within her article “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema.” Mulvey references the term male gaze, “wom[en] displayed as sexual object[s] is the leitmotif of erotic spectacle: from pin-ups to strip-tease, from Ziegfeld to Busby Berkeley, she holds the look, and plays to and signifies male desire” (Mulvey 40). Because of this interpretation it is relevant to examine different forms of media, such as films, to establish if the male gaze is present. Furthermore, it is appropriate to analyze films directed by women to identify the male gaze, due to their unique interpretation of female character’s visual representation. In the essay that follows, it will consider Girlfight and Dance, Girl, Dance to analyze how two separate female filmmakers, Karyn Kusama and Dorothy Arzner respectfully, challenge the theory of the male gaze, along with comparing and contrasting the methods in which such challenges were made, and finally it will address how any filmmaker may object the male gaze.

The feminist analysis of the music video from the Ed Sheeran is suggesting that pop music is a vehicle for gender equality and in balance, life opportunities, because it helps to split of the active men and passive women's perception by recording the song of the "shape of you."
