Goodwin’s six points
Genre Characteristics
-Is mainstream pop
-Dance Routine if featured, but is solo
Visual/ Lyrics
-
This is present as Michael Jackson shows slight
distress in the beginning of the video in relation to the lyrics of the song.
-
The entire video he spends travelling to the
destination of “Billy Jean, in this way, the entire video is focusing on the
lyrics mixing in with the visuals.
Visuals/ Music
-The beat of the music is represented through lights that
switch on when he does his signature dance/walk on to them.
Need to Sell Artist
-MJ is dressed in very slick clothing, conveying to the
audience that they too, have a chance to be attached to the pop singers
charisma
-the “hero”/artist of every video is portrayed as a
relatable mainstream outcast.
Intertextuality
- From what I can examine there is no known Intertextuality
present, however, the video inspired many modern pop artists to imitate his
method of selling.
Voyeurism
-No actual female character for the audience to watch, but
the entire video he is stalked by a reporter, the people watching the video
could be likened to the character. In addition to this, MJ travels in the video
to a girl who’s sleeping, he watches her sleep.
