This shows that she believes that music videos are what heterosexual males want to see. For example, they want to see half naked girls dancing and be seductive/sexy. A music video which shows this is Dizzee Rascal's - Holiday. In this music video, it shows him and a few other males surrounded by females in bikinis but what I find interesting is the fact that Dizzee Rascal is fully dressed. (Shown below in a white suit, whilst girls are in two piece swimming costumes)
Also, it shows slow motion of females: diving into pools; walking, dancing; fixing their hair and generally having what is considered 'fun'. Close ups of female body parts which generally have sexual connotations linked to them such as the chest and bottom area, which is dismemberment.
Dizzee Rascal would also have a shocked expression on his face or stare at the females which is an example of 'male gaze'.
There were about 3-4 men in the music video in total, whereas, there was way more females. Funnily enough, the men still held the power and the were grasping onto them and revelling in the fact that they were getting attention from the men. The men (including Dizzee Rascal) all looked very smug and were just grinning the whole time. (Shown below: Girls smiling and grasping onto Dizzee Rascal).
As soon as he opened the door, he just looked at her body, rather than looking at her face.
