Goodwin's Principles - 5

Notion of Looking
There is frequent references to the notion of looking, whether it be through screens, mirrors, stages, cameras etc. Voyeuristics treatment of the female body is also used within the notion of looking, as it atracts the audeince in by showing them something that perhaps they wouldn't normally be seeing.

This Miley Cyrus video uses notion of looking very well in a number of ways. At the beginning the audience are all looking at something unknown to the audience, then Miley is looking back at them and we see this from the audience's perspective. She is also looking directly into the camera, and is also dressed voyeuristically, making the audience (both in the video and outside) wanting to be looking at her.
