Male Gaze Theory is a concept from a feminist critic Laura Mulvey. It refers to the way visual arts are structured around a masculine viewer. In simple terms she believes that the audience view characters through the perspective of a heterosexual masculine male. Examples of this include camera shots of a woman curves or portraying females as objects.
I understand the Male Gaze Theory and the effect it has and in some horror movies such as Scream and Texas Chainsaw Massacre the theory can be seen. Personally will our trailer include any Male Gaze Theory, i doubt that but i will try to discuss with my group to see if we can challenge the theory.
