Using this screenshot in the music video "Sexy Chic" we can discuss gender representation in the music industry. Here it shows the female is objectified throughout and is in less power. To begin with, the screenshot is shown from a low camera angle showing the woman to look bigger, it also focuses on her body and is very revealing. This perspective makes the woman an item to the male and is what brings him joy and happiness. The males is still higher showing he has more power and controls the situation. The man and woman aren't even dancing together, she is alone impressing the male, This proves that in sexy chic men have more of a right to stare at women as no other person is watching him.
The women is wearing very skimpy clothing in comparison to the male that is fully clothed, this evidently shows that shes objectified and is in the "male gaze" perception. this means the clothing shows off her body as much as possible, with the smallest amount of coverage. It sexualise's how women should behave around men in order to impress them. They are not directly communicating which shows her as an object on display for the man to view. It clearly is not a hot day to wear little clothing as the male is in jeans which yet shows she does not have to wear that but potentially ordered to by the hosts to boost other girls to do it, so the place is appropriate for men to enjoy.
