In what ways does the clip use or challenge theories of representation?
Laura Mulvey -
The clip challenges the male gaze theory because the male character is the one objectified by the spectators in this clip - the female is the one looking at the male character sexually - the final reaction shot represents this
The female character is completely covered with clothes - however when she has her head stuck outside the tent, we only see her head which suggests she is still objectified as just a 'body part'.
Performativity- Judith Butler
The female character acts feminie - she is flustered the the male characters visual representation of masculinity - she is lady like - doesnt want to share the tent with three males
Agrees to the theory - conforming to the theory
David Gauntlett - denotation/connotation -
Connotation of the shot of him shifting his shorts and the following reaction shot suggests a sexual reference
Denotation - dog - means best friend -
Connotation - companionship, suggests a character is caring
