Laura Mulvey Male gaze

Features of the Male Gaze The camera lingers on the curves of the female body. This is highlighted strongly in the Scouting for girls Video as the camera lingers on the female we don't notice anything else about her.  There is use of the Male Gaze in everyday life Some theorists also have noted the sexualizing of the female body even in situations where female sexiness has nothing to do with the actually product. 

Criticism of Mulvey and Gaze theory Some women enjoy being ‘looked’ at e.g. beauty pageants. The gaze can also be directed toward members of the same gender for several reasons, not all of which are sexual, such as in comparison of body image or in clothing.

In my magazine I will use a Woman/girl on the front cover, therefore I will use a strong woman so it diverts the Male gaze and the focus in purely on the magazine and the music.
