Eyes in Film

A 4 page essay that discusses eyes and vision in three films, Being John Malkovich (1999, directed by Spike Jonze), Vertigo (1958, directed by Alfred Hitchcock), and Rear Window (1954, also directed by Hitchcock). In these films, the camera position is frequently crucial, as vision, that is, what the character sees, is an integral part of the film's premise. Therefore, the camera angle is expertly used so that it enhances this thematic perspective. Additionally, in all three films, there is an emphasis on eyes, close-ups of eyes that naturally lead to an association with the audience between eyes, vision and the camera as a means of seeing what the character sees.

Female Spectatorship
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The overwhelming sense of maleness within the early film industry lends itself to the notion of female spectatorship. That men were in complete control of how a film was shot – from the camera angle and perspective to the most subtle nuances pertaining to blocking, dialogue and story line – speaks volumes regarding the intended masculine viewpoint manifested in these productions. Such films as Psycho, Rebecca and All About My Mother clearly portray the overtly masculine perspective, while at the same time only appear to project to the female spectator. This clever masquerade is what has motivated such precedence-setting authors as Laura Mulvey and Betty Friedan to take issue with the manner by which the issue of female spectatorship has been addressed. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
