In this post, I have researched two different theories: Laura Mulvey's male gaze theory and also Tsyvetan Todorov's narrative theory. I researched these two theories because I thought that they were very interesting and I am looking to either apply them or intentionally not apply them to my short film.
Tsyvetan Todorov's Narrative Theory
I think that I will be applying this theory to my short film. This is because I know that a good narrative needs structure and this is the most famous and successful structure to follow. We, as an audience, are so used to seeing this structure media texts that we could write a narrative ourselves and our narrative would follow this structure without us even realising. By using this structure, I think that I will have a short film with a strong narrative. This should help to make my short film a success.
Laura Mulvey's Male Gaze Theory
I think that I will intentionally not include male gaze in my short film because I see it as unnecessary. I have a lot of faith that my script writing will be funny enough for me not to need to include male gaze. I strongly believe that my short film will be a success without the inclusion of male gaze. Also I want for my short film to appeal to a large female audience which I believe not including male gaze will do.
