This medium shot
uses depth of field to explore feminism.
During this scene, we are told by the director that the actress refused to
scream. She instead remains standing. She does not however, do anything
proactive; leading us to believe she may in some ways, still conform to Laura Mulvey’s Male Gaze theory as she
still does nothing. However this small amount of defiance helps to push against
the CDI and is institutionally ahead of its time, due to her refusing to follow gender stereotypes. This is also why I
wish to follow her throughout the narrative as an icon for progressive feminism.
