Carlson believes that music artist is put in to materialization. There are three types, commercial exhibitionist, televised bard, and electronic shaman.

Sven e Carlson

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.”

“televised bard.”

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”

“electronic shaman”

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.”

“commercial exhibitionist.”

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.

Holstein conventions

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.
