A star is a constructed image, not a real person, made up of various materials like advertising, magazines, films and music. Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, uses a stage name to help create her artistic persona, which is not a mainstream representation of a woman but features an eccentric, crazy image with unique outfits and makeup, giving her a distinguishing quality that helps her success.

Task 3
Lady Gaga exemplifies Dyer's star theory by constructing an eccentric persona through her stage name, unique fashion style, and promotion of cultural values like LGBT rights. She establishes an iconic image through outrageous outfits and makeup that inspire fans and generate discussion. While some criticize her use of gender identities for profit, her persona effectively conveys beliefs to fans and commercializes music videos.
Task 3
Lady Gaga exemplifies Robert Dyer's "star theory" by constructing a unique and eccentric public persona. She adopted her stage name Lady Gaga as the first step in crafting her artificial image, which features outrageous outfits and makeup. This unique selling point makes her easily identifiable and represents shared cultural values that enhance her star quality. Lady Gaga also initiates fashion trends and cultural discourse through social media as Dyer described, further establishing her star persona.
Star Theory-Richard Dyer
Richard Dyer's star theory argues that celebrities, or "stars", are constructed identities rather than real people. Stars have personas crafted for public consumption that differ from their private selves. They also usually have a unique selling point, like Michael Jackson's dance moves, that allows them to be imitated or parodied. Stars are sometimes constructed as exaggerated characters, like Lady Gaga, rather than resembling ordinary people, in order to appeal to fans who identify more with the character than a real person. Stars also represent social or cultural groups to help fans relate to them and adopt the star's ideologies, such as Meghan Trainor's lyrics about not being a "stick-figure silicone Barbie doll."
Richard Dyer’s star theory
Richard Dyer's star theory proposes that celebrities are constructed for financial and institutional reasons. The theory includes three categories: constructed stars who gain popularity through media promotion rather than real personality; commodity stars whose public image is crafted to sell merchandise; and ideologists who act as role models through their behavior and charitable causes. Justin Bieber exemplifies all three categories as his early social media promotion constructed his stardom, his merchandise sales make him a commodity star, and his charity work positions him as an ideologist.
Star theory
Richard Dyer's star theory argues that pop stars develop identities and brands beyond their music through constructed star images. Stars appeal to audiences by representing shared cultural values and attitudes to sell ideologies. Their personas are crafted by the music industry and need periodic revamping to sustain popularity over time as tastes change. Madonna and Katy Perry are examples of stars whose images have been strategically constructed through branding.
Stars and Stardom
Lady Gaga has created a unique star image through her eccentric costumes and bold makeup looks. This incoherent image intrigues audiences and fans who want to learn more about her unique style. Her album artwork and appearances in magazines help continue her brand identity and house style, even if the looks are not as extreme as her live performances. As a star, Gaga has constructed an image separate from her real identity by using various media to market herself and her image to target audiences. Her frequent magazine covers and online presence help spread images of her eccentric style quickly. While some see her style as bizarre, others find her individuality inspiring and it draws interest from people who want to see her next unique look.

Richard Dyer developed the idea of "star theory" which proposes that celebrities and icons are constructed images manufactured by institutions for financial gain and to appeal to specific audiences. Pop stars in particular have their image carefully shaped by music companies to fit an ideal type. Stars serve as role models who influence fashion trends and cultural discourse as their fans seek to emulate them. According to Dyer, a star is a fictional, constructed image crafted through various media like advertising and magazines rather than a real person.

Richard Dyer Star Theory
Richard Dyer's star theory argues that celebrities, or "stars," are constructed images meant to make money for institutions. Stars are built up through various media to appeal to and target specific audiences. A star's persona is designed to stand out from others and embody certain ideals. Audiences then form expectations of stars based on these constructed images, which stars may struggle to meet as the images do not represent the actual person.
Star Image - Richard Dyer
Richard Dyer's theory distinguishes between a pop performer and pop star. A pop performer becomes a pop star when their persona is delivered to the public through means other than just their music. Dyer believes this allows for a stronger connection between the artist and audience. Stars are constructed by institutions to appeal to audiences in ways that will maximize financial benefits. Constructions include star images, ideology promotion, and crafted personalities. Katy Perry exemplifies these constructions through her transformed fashion sense, charity work, and evolving persona.
Richard Dyer's Star Theory
- Stars are constructed by institutions like record companies to appeal to target audiences and make money, rather than being real people. They are crafted to fit audience expectations of an "ideal" star.
- Dyer's theory breaks this down into how stars are constructed for audiences and institutions, how they take on defined personas, and how they reinforce the dominant ideology and influence culture and audiences.
- In the end, stars are not truly human but constructed images and products meant to appeal to audiences and make money for their backing institutions.
Richard dyer star theory 1979
Richard Dyer's star theory proposes that celebrities are constructed by media institutions for financial gain. The document discusses several key points of Dyer's theory:
1) Stars are manufactured through various media to appeal to target audiences and generate revenue.
2) Institutions shape stars' images to represent certain ideologies and cultural values in order to promote consumption.
3) Over time, stars transition from real people to constructed personas tailored to audiences' expectations through various media representations.
The document then analyzes how Dyer's theory applies to Taylor Swift and her image transformation over her career from country star to pop icon through manufactured representations in music videos, merchandise, and other media.
Richard dyer star theory
Richard Dyer's star theory argues that celebrities are constructed by media institutions for financial gain by representing 'real people' to appeal to target audiences. Stars are modeled around audiences to increase sales. Beyoncé is discussed as both supporting this theory through her transformation over time and trends, while also challenging it by leaving a cultural legacy through her charity work, which Dyer argues makes her a 'true pop star'. However, there is debate around whether Beyoncé is a positive role model or promotes negative behaviors.
[Done] star theory..
Richard Dyer developed the star persona theory which argues that audiences are influenced by their perceptions of stars based on constructed images rather than the actual person. A key difference between pop performers and pop stars is that pop stars develop broader cultural impacts and identities beyond their music over time. Stars are constructed images made of various media rather than real people, as evidenced by reality shows like The X Factor that style contestants to match audience and record label expectations. K-pop group Twice is given a cute, girlish persona through their performances and videos, though their choreographer altered a dance to be more mature but it did not fit their constructed image.
Richard dyer’s theory
Richard Dyer's star theory proposes that celebrities and icons are constructed by media institutions for financial gain. Stars are modeled to represent real people and emotions so that audiences can relate to them and buy into their brand. This allows the music industry to make money by appealing to audiences who identify with aspects of the star's carefully manufactured personality and purchase their records and merchandise. Stars become household names, boosting sales across all platforms featuring them. Institutions mold stars around target demographics to increase their relatability and memorability.
A2 Media Studies - Star Theory(Richard Dyer)
Richard Dyer's star theory proposes that a pop star's image is a constructed fiction formed through various media like advertising, magazines, and films. A star becomes a commodity and brand that fans can identify with, and stars can influence fans' views, acting as ideologists. One Direction is discussed as an example that fits the model of a pop star. Their image was carefully constructed through TV performances and social media campaigns. They became hugely popular and influential through merchandise, charity work, and social media interactions with fans. However, the departure of Zayn Malik damaged their image, showing how fragile a constructed pop star persona can be.
A level Dyer
Richard Dyer was an English academic who studied stardom and developed the idea that a star's image and persona heavily influences how audiences experience and perceive them. He analyzed how stars are constructed through various media like publicity materials, reviews, and the films/music themselves. True pop stars have a lasting significance and "brand awareness" over time through a combination of sociological and cultural impacts, rather than being artificially manufactured based on short-term appeals. While the music industry aims to construct profitable star personas, audiences may prefer stars who feel more authentic and representative of their own tastes and values.
Richard dyer’s star theory
Richard Dyer's star theory proposes that stars are constructions, not real people, created through marketing to generate profit. Stars represent certain ideologies that fans emulate. Dyer also describes the "paradox of the star" - stars must seem both ordinary enough for fans to relate to but also possess extraordinary talents, and be simultaneously present in fans' lives through media but absent and unattainable.
Richard dyer
Richard Dyer's star theory argues that stars are constructed images, not real people. Institutions construct stars to target specific audiences for financial gain. A star's image is altered by institutions depending on the target audience's cultural beliefs about how a star should look. Stars embody certain ideologies that audiences can follow and aspire to.
Richard Dyer Media Theory
Richard Dyer's star theory states that stars are constructed images meant to represent real people for financial gain. Institutions model stars around target audiences to increase sales and the star's brand identity. Miley Cyrus shifted her image from Disney to appeal to an adult audience, and Lady Gaga is constructed around a fashion-forward image for her fans to emulate. However, the band Patent Pending presents themselves authentically without corporate construction. Stars also represent cultural values their audiences relate to or admire, promoting certain ideologies through their behavior and fashion trends fans copy. Social media now allows stars more control over their brand's values. Dyer also notes stars must seem both ordinary enough to relate to but extraordinary enough to admire from a distance
Richard dyer star theory
Richard Dyer's star theory proposes that celebrities are constructed by media institutions for financial gain. Stars are manufactured to represent real people and emotions in order to attract fans and sell music. Their image and ideology are crafted through promotion like music videos and magazines. Stars are also commodified, with their image used to promote and sell branded products to maximize profits for industries.
Dyer’s Star Theory
- Richard Dyer's star theory states that stars are constructed images rather than real people, crafted out of various materials like advertising, magazines, films, and music to appeal to audiences.
- A star's persona is artificial and usually contains a unique selling point that fans can then copy and emulate. Record companies shape stars based on what they think audiences want, which is why many boy bands tend to look and act similarly.
- Stars promote certain ideologies and cultural values through their image to appeal to audiences and enhance their "star quality," such as starting fashion trends that fans then copy.
Richard Dyer's 'Star Theory'
The Richard Dyer 'Star Theory' proposes that celebrities, or 'stars', are constructed and promoted by media institutions for commercial gain. Stars are given crafted personalities that target audiences can identify with, allowing fans to feel connected to them and drive profits from media consumption. Stars serve as models of idealized characteristics for their audiences and help spread popular ideologies, though they can also promote unhealthy influences. Their public images are carefully manicured constructions rather than reflections of their real selves.
Stars And Stardom
Richard Dyer argues that stars are constructed images meant to be consumed and marketed to target audiences. The star image is intentionally incoherent, containing paradoxes, in order to keep audiences striving to complete the image through continued consumption of the star's products and performances. Depending on the artist, the star image may position audiences in opposition to or in support of mainstream social values.
[Done] star theory
Richard Dyer developed the star persona theory which argues that audiences are influenced by their perceptions of stars formed through various media representations. A key aspect is that stars have identities beyond their music careers that form cultural impacts and brand awareness. Once this level of recognition is achieved, stars can remain significant even after periods away from performing. A star is essentially a constructed image rather than the real person, built from marketing materials and grooming on shows like The X Factor to fulfill audience and industry expectations.
Star theory (2)
Richard Dyer established the theory that there is a difference between a pop performer, who is known only for their music, and a pop star, who is recognized for both their persona and music. Dyer's theory suggests pop stars are constructed by record companies to appeal to audiences. The theory has four sections: stars as construction, industry and audience, ideology and culture, and character and personality. Katy Perry was constructed as a pop star by Capitol Records, changing her name, music genre, clothing styles, and relationships to appeal to wider audiences and become more recognizable outside of just her music.
Blog Task 2
The document discusses Richard Dyer's theory of the "star image" and how it can be applied to construct an image for a fictional band called Chaos Theory. It outlines the key elements of a star image, including youthfulness, rebellion, anti-authoritarian attitudes. It then describes how the video, magazine advert, and album cover were designed to portray these elements of Chaos Theory's star image, making them seem ordinary yet extraordinary, and both present and absent for the audience. The creative works aim to position Chaos Theory as succeeding against the odds while still appealing to audiences and fitting with conventions of the alternative rock genre.

Jehovah’s witnesses
Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian denomination that believes in Jehovah God and focuses on door-to-door preaching. They do not believe in the Trinity or hellfire and instead believe "hell" refers to the common grave of mankind. With over 8 million members worldwide in over 200 lands, they hold annual celebrations like the Memorial of Jesus and district conventions to study the Bible and spread their beliefs.
Succeeding in Succession
The document provides guidance on maintaining family harmony during the succession planning process for a family business. It emphasizes the importance of open communication between all family members, including those involved in management and those who are owners. It recommends establishing regular family meetings with set agendas to discuss both business and family matters in a transparent way. This allows different views on issues like reinvesting profits or transition plans to be heard from all sides. The examples show how both a daughter running the business and her non-involved brother feel there is a lack of discussion and transparency currently. The advisor recommends the family begin holding formal meetings to improve understanding and prevent disputes over the business.

Audience profile
The document profiles the target audience for a drama film as 16-24 year olds, primarily students, of both genders. It discusses the interests and life events of this age group, which frequently involve education, relationships, family issues, and use of smartphones, social media, music and other technologies. The research suggests including elements of the target audience's interests and life stages in the film and trailer to make the characters and story more relatable.
Calendar
This document outlines a film production schedule across 15 weeks. It includes tasks such as researching film trailers and posters, developing characters and storyboards, planning locations, costumes and soundtracks, filming during half term, and editing with deadlines for production and ancillary tasks throughout November and December.
Genre
The document discusses how the author will develop a drama storyline based on audience research and narrative theory. They will base the storyline on a true story with realistic characters and settings. The protagonist will be a 16-25 year old female based on audience preferences. The subgenres will be melodrama, LGBTQ, and romance. When creating the trailer, the author will apply Barthes' concept of "enigma code" to build tension without revealing too much of the plot. They will also follow Todorov's narrative structure but not reinstate equilibrium at the end for melodramatic effect. Binary oppositions like kind vs horrible will be used to create moral questions and emphasize conflict.
Tv advert
This document summarizes key elements of a Cadbury gorilla TV advert from 2007 that inspired decisions for a film trailer. It discusses how the advert builds anticipation slowly through a panning camera and fade in. Emotion is conveyed through close ups of the gorilla's heavy breathing and eyes. Tension climaxes when the camera zooms out to a wider shot just before the gorilla starts drumming to fast-paced music. The document concludes that these cinematic techniques can be applied to build tension and signal changes in a movie trailer.
Film Trailers

Task 1
Film trailers are an important marketing tool for movies as they create interest and promote the film. Trailers typically include key moments and highlights from the movie to entice viewers without revealing too much of the plot. They also showcase the main stars, director, and release date to attract audiences. The goal of a trailer is to make people want to see the full film by teasing elements of the story, characters, themes, and genre in an engaging way through video clips, music, and voiceovers.

Task 3
- 1. "A star is an image not a real person that is constructed (as any other aspect of fiction is) out of a range of materials (eg advertising, magazines etc as well as films [music])." - Dyer
- 2. Lady Gaga • Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986,) best known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer/ songwriter. Stage names are commonly used by artists in the music industry, either for legal reasons – or to enhance their ‘character.’ The adoption of a new name is the first step in become a ‘constructed, artificial image.’ • Lady Gaga’s ‘identity’ isn’t exactly a mainstream one; she isn’t the ideal representation of a woman. However, the ‘weird’ or ‘eccentric’ persona that she has created contributes towards her USP (unique selling point.) Robert Dyer says that ‘it helps if their image contains a USP.’ • Lady Gaga’s USP therefore is this appearance she has created of a crazy and eccentric star. She often fashions outlandish outfits and wacky make-up, making her very iconic.
