Male Gaze 

This is a scene from the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Jessica Rabbit is singing a song, and through out the two minute clip, the use of different camera angles and the way that the men act around her in the movie portray the male gaze very clear. From the gif above, there is a main focus on Jessica's body as she steps down from the table.

Female Gaze

This is a clip from the Katy Perry music video The One That Got Away. Throughout the video, Katy is reminiscing about her younger days and the one man that she loved.The tone of this video is soft and not over the top, suggesting that the nature of their relationship was something special between them both. But the female gaze in the video, is Katy looking looking at the man with admiration and love, in comparison to the male gaze in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, where the men are looking at Jessica Rabbit with want and maybe even lust, due to the way that she has been recorded and the different angles that have been used.
