I see it this way. It is “objectification” when it’s used to attract attention. It’s “for the purpose of appreciation” when it’s used to enrich emotional reaction (usually of the aesthetic evaluation, but sometimes of the moral evaluation). So it is hard to say just by the content, but if the content is both erotic and boring it’s objectification.
Let’s take “the sexual objectification of women in some advertisement” as an example. Do you mean that sexual objectification takes place when the actress feels bad about playing in an erotic context, and agreed only because of commercial incentive, or something similar? ETA: I guess objectification generally means not treating someone as a person. With a focus on this explication, objectification in (working on) a film (advertisement is a short film) would be when the director does not collaborate with the actors, but rather is authoritarian in demanding that the actors fit his vision. ETA2: and objectification in the content of a film would be depicting an act of someone not treating another as a person; in case of “sexual objectification” depicting sexual violence.

Erm… what are you talking about? Sexual objectification is done by one person to another.
Although I wouldn’t say this, I don’t see how my comment contradicts this.
