Representations.

I have chosen to look at three different artists and see how their representations are created throughout their music videos and photographs. How an artist or bands is repesented is important as they may appeal to a specific audience. For example Marlyne Manson tends to have gothic style that runs through his videos, this is a constant representation that does not tend to change. Whereas Britney Spears tends to have a some sort of sexy theme throughout her videos, however this does change as is some of her videos she will be represented as a powerful female figure, the male fanticy or an innocent young girl.


The first artist i am going to focus on is Michael Jackson. Michael's representation changes a great deal throughout his videos. In "Beat It" he is represented as being the good guy who tries to break up the fight. He is also represented as one of the cool guys as he is dancing at the front of the crowd, all the other people in the video begin to follow him. 














The second band i am going to focus on is the Prodigy, when they began their representation was similar to that of a boy-band. However as their music progressed and their fan base grew they were able to form into their own image. This changed to something that was more suited to their genre of music, it was grungy and unique.
