Laura Mulvey come up with the theory of the male gaze.
This was where women are percieved as an object of sexual desire and an erotic object.
This can be shown in filming due to camera angles,lighting, and amount of time placed on the woman.
However sometimes it is not just focused on the woman rarely but occasionally men are also focussed upon, for example in a certain example in ashes to ashes the male gaze is used to focus upon other males when they enter a gay bar.
Music videos can also show this as they can use a woman to fit in with the song, basically using the woman as a prop,
In peter andrés music video - mysterious girl
the woman in the music video is an object of want and desire, but also used to show the love he has for her.
