- point of view from a hetrosexual male
- forced to look at female body parts
-freduian psychoanalysis of cinema
- female is steortypical victim, she is not just an object of sexual desire but she also showing the power imbalance between both males and females. Midshot of female shows her body, close up of her applying lipstick on, which sexualises her features. FRaming allows her eyes and mouth to be the main focus of the audiences gaze.
- the male is obscured from fullvew so he exerts power, she is blissfully unaware that she is behind him. This suggests a power imbalance.
