The idea of voyeurism comes from Freud. This refers to the idea of looking in order to gain sexual pleasure. Goodwin draws upon this idea and argues;
The female performer will frequently be objectified by the males constant controlling gaze glued to the screen. A combination of editing, camerawork and body shots emphasising on the stars sexual display on screen. An example of the voyeuristic conventions within a music video is displayed.
However these conventions are also used within music videos for male stars. The use of the female body and also female as backing dancers surrounding the male star as adornments flattering the male stars ego. in the same way males objectify the female star, females will also sexually objectify the male star. the video bellow displays the ideas i have spoken about.
