2. Carlson believes that music artist is put in to
materialization. There are three
types, commercial exhibitionist, televised
bard, and electronic shaman.
3. Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean fulfils all of
these conventions. As Michael is tell us a
story about his life and what he is going
through. This fulfils the convention
“televised bard.”
4. In the music video we see that Michael has
magic powers as he give a homeless person a
coin and magically had a clean white suit.
This fulfils the convention “electronic
shaman”
5. lastly we see Michael Jackson in a black
suit, dancing and have magic powers like
disappearing. And we are inspired to be like
him and this means that is fulfils the
convention “commercial exhibitionist.”
6. 1. Music videos are dived into two categories. Political and
traditional us film’s musical.
2. The fantasy video is based on performance which consists of
magic powers that the artist has.
3. “Videos make the artist more accessible to the fans. When they
perform on a stage or at a concert, then they bring or wear things
they've seen in the video.”
4. The music video is quick and gives of a powerful message.
This fulfilled as the artist has magic powers and Michael Jackson
is dancing as well.
This convention is not fulfilled as we do not see any shot of them
preforming on stage or at a concerts
The video has a mixture of shot some are long and some are quick
but this mainly depends on the song and the speed of it.
