CONSTRUCTION: LAURA MULVEY - VISUAL PLEASURE AND NARRATIVE CINEMA

I have read a article written by Daniel Chandler on the gaze theory by Laura Mulvey. 'Film has been called an instrument of the male gaze, producing representations of women, the good life, and sexual fantasy from a male point of view' (Schroeder 1998, 208). This theory is based around the concept that women are there to be looked at that and that men look.  Mulvey argues that movies put women as 'subject positions' which 'objectifies' them. Women have been used for a sexual representation in movies for many years. For example Halle Berry is often in very revealing clothes attracting more males. This is called the "male gaze". This theory also suggest that men are not sexually objectified in mainstream cinema. However both Steve Neale and Richard Dyer (1982) argue against this. they think that since the 1980s there has been an increasing display of the objectifying the male body in a sexual way. I agree with this as many film such as "Magic Mike" and "Chocolate City" have been released that depict the male body in a very sexual and revealing way. 

CONSTRUCTION: TITLE SHOT

Chloe and I have been working together on the title shot for use in our movie. We used photoshop to create this effective title shot. The "f" is in a different font to make it look like the sign for aperture and the camera lens was added and made to fit inside the "o".  We also added the record sign with the red dot which was my idea as the whole movie is around someone who likes taking photos of his loved one.
