Who Framed Roger Rabbit: objectification task

The male gaze is used throughout this clip. The scene starts with a a shot of a female cartoons leg sticking out of a curtain, it then cuts to the reaction shot of a man with his mouth and eyes wide open whilst he is watching the female cartoon emerge from the curtain. The use of fragmentation, and scopophelia used in the opening of this scene supports the idea of character gaze, within the male gaze theory. As we see the leg coming from the curtain, there is a spot light focused on it and it is also clear that she is not wearing a lot of clothes, therefore sexualising her body parts. As the female character emerges on to the stage, she is wearing a skinny, revealing pink dress and high heels. The colour connotations of the pink dress suggests that she is seen as a very feminin and sexy character.
