OUGD501 Studio brief 1

Triangulation exercise

Through each of the three texts, the discussion of the male gaze is debated from 3 different viewpoints of: homosexual male, feminist woman and the heterosexual man. Laura Mulvey, a British feminist film theorist stated that the perspective of Hollywood has become heterosexual driven to the point where male stars play an active role to speed up the narrative while the woman is given the passive roles that slow down the narrative. She claims that her claims are backed up by pshycoanalasists but Richard Dyer seems to disagree, saying that she sees these as a product of the patriarchal order in which we are caught up with.
