Basically it is looking at the past but with a twist, looking at them in a differant way. Jean Baudrillard work is often associated with post modernism especially post structureism.

contacting the band
we emailed the band to see if we could use thier music, and to see if they would give us the lyrics to the song so we could start to revise them and look at what we could do for our ideas.

Male Gaze Theory
The Male Gaze Theory was developed by Laura Mulvey in 1975, she belived that herosexual males looked upon HollyWood film actresses as a figure and not a person, just looking at them for pure pleasure. The male gaze thory is not just applied to the Film industry but also to adverts esecially purfume adverts or something that is promoting a product to buy to make yourself look better or smell nicer. Mulvey expressed that women pften like the attention of being gazed at and ogled by men both actors and public. The image above is a typical shot of it, it has Brooklyn Decker comming out of the sea and slow motion, this is from the film 'Just Go With It' this shot totally illistrates the point that Mulvey is making about males gazing at the 1/2 naked indiviual. Below we have a shot from one of my favorite films, 'Grown Ups' where all of the father are looking at Rob's daughter and making it obvious to the audience that she is very attractive, the shot then goes onto her opening the head gasget and hot steam comming out and blowing up her top and her licking her lips, this also illistrates the point that Mulvey makes.
