Voyeurism withing music video - nicki minaj starships
This particular artist 'Nicki Minaj' is well known for her sexual approach and is a strong demonstration of voyeurism. The idea of sexual pleasure through visuals is often expressed thought her videos.
The difference between her and other examples of voyeurism is that she is the main star and yet she is still sexually objectified. It is usually the main artist who is in power and is dominant with other people of the opposite sex being objectified and acting almost in awe of the star character. She however attempts the keep the balance between being the most important and powerful character in the video whilst still being the dominant sexual attraction or object.
There are other people being sexually objectified in this video including both males and females wearing very little clothes, girls shaking their bums and showing their chest and then the men dancing and showing their muscles. A few of this people were shown before Nicki was but when she entered it was made clear she was meant to be the most attractive person in this video and clearly the superstar. She appeared on the shore as if she was teleported from a 'starship', she was in a pink bikini and was literally glowing and shining, this glow bring connotation of being an angel, Godlike or possible being perfect; surely in reference to her body and appearance. There is lots of close ups and different angles of her body while she does a range of different dances and sexual physical expression. There is also a shot in the video more than once in which she is being carried by 4 guys as if she is a queen of some sort. Later there is another shot where she is on a platform putting her on a higher level to everyone else adding to the theme that everyone is beneath her and that she is in control all as a result of her feminine or sexual power.
