The third of Goodwin's Theory principles that we looked at was the 'notion of looking' (There is frequent reference to the notion of looking, and particularly voyeuristic treatment of the female body). This included men and women looking seductive within videos, and also eye contact with the camera and each other, to create a link between the person and the audience.
Pink - Who Knew (dir. Dragon, 2006) Pink continually looks towards the camera, and acts like the narrator of the story unfolding between the young couple. The two people also keep eye contact between themselves, and we look on as the third person to work out what is happening
Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head (dir. Dawn Shadforth, 2001) Kylie keeps eye contact with the camera, and also dances very seductively with a low-angle shot looking up at her legs and thighs, giving the viewer an idea of her being a 'sex symbol'
