Voyerism, the male gaze and cinematography

Voyeurism
The sexual interest in or practice of spying on people engaged in intimate behaviour.
Such as undressing, intimate behaviour or other actions that could be soft porn. The behaviour may be described as stalker. 

The male gaze- 
The male gaze in a feminist theory that was first developed by Laura mulvey in 1975. The male gaze occurs in mainstream Hollywood films reflects and satisfies the male unconscious: most film makers are male. 

2001 space odyssey camera work  
-Different angles in the cave 
-The isolation of one ape
-Sunset/rise
-The long pole thing directly in the middle 
-the sun rising 
- the angle of camera to show horizon 
- close ups 
- low camera pointing up to the monkey to show it's power

Narrative: the way the stories being told / the story being told about evolution 

Edit that puts millions of years of evolution in one cut 

Graphic match: bone and spaceship 

The pole thing is probably from the sky, ( a lot of sky shots)

A power from space is what causes evolution 

----Inglorious bastards----
- close ups (making it intense)
- the guns under the table close ups (conflict and aggression)
- all 3 men in the shot ( symbolise the situation involves all 3)
- blocking 
- when the bloke isn't focused on the person talking 
-  the lady insignificant in the scene 
- bloke with card on his head Is unusual 

----gone with the wind----
Technology/analysis/subject 
Tracking shot (tracks her through)- deep focus And medium shot 
Close up
Long shot to extreme long shot, shoes how small she is 
Medium shot as flag is in the way 
Character remains central frame
Blocking used to show power 
Shallow focus close ups

----Batman begins----
A lot of close ups 
Shows the fear in their face
-Shallow focus to show the person have more fear
Close up of the ninja star
Tracking shots 
Pov shot 
Central framing 
Low angle to show batman's dominance 

---Saving Ryan's privates---
Low angle shots 
Pov shots (immediacy)
Slow motion parts ( dramatic, a rest bite from the DramA)
Speed up ( panic ) 
Chaotic ( ringing )

---good fellas---
Long take = (realism) 
Realistic narrative
