Voyeurism

Voyeurism is the notion of looking at someone, sometimes this can be in a sexual manner, when they are unaware that they are being watch. Usually the presence of women with any type of film is for the purpose of display instead of narrative.

We have used voyeurism slightly within our music video, with the 'male gaze' which is when there is a powerfully and controlling gaze at a female character, making her objectified. Jack often looks at me (or in my direction) in the music video suggesting this 'male gaze', however, you could also say that there is a 'female gaze' as I look at Jack and the other band members (or in their direction), suggesting that I am objectifying them.
