This is the idea or concept about how the audience view those that are presented to them.
For feminist is can be though of in three ways:
1) How men view women
2) How women look at themselves
3) How women look at other women
There are certain features that can be applied to the "Male Gaze" theory such as, the camera focuses on the curves of the female body. Using this theory ultimately gives the prupose of women being represented as object not as humans.
After complteting a test Mulvey asked questions to the audience they could not answer some of the questions for example what colour top was the female role wearing, she then stated this was due to the fact they were looking at the female and not what was going on in the film.
