Laura Mulvey's 'gaze' means how the audience views with the people presented in the cinema.
Laura Mulvey was a 'Feminist', she looked at 3 points: Who men look at women
How women look and women
How women look at themselves.
The male gaze theory suggests how the male point of view is adopted by the camera. She said that this benefits the male audience. She said that when the camera is 'lingering' of the female body this is an example of this.
The female audience are positioned in a way where the male audience are recognized.
Criticisms of Laura Mulvey's gaze
She claims that women are being looked negatively, however that was in 1975 and the perceptions of women has changed a big deal over the years. Nowadays it s not only the males that take on the heroic character. eg. Lara croft in tomb raiders and kill bill.
In the film trailer above 'kill bill' women are portrayed in the opposite way of how Mulvey's describes it. In kill bill the herioic character is a female who is portrayed as a strong independent women. She is portrayed as a powerful women.
Using this idea, it allows me to notice for much film has changed and how i can incorporate her ideas and changes into my horror trailer
