Micheal Jackson Case Study

Michael Jackson was one of the first artists to make a big music video in which made music videos seen by the world as a form of art. In this blog I am going to be disguising some of his best work when it comes to his music videos and why they are seen in such a excellent light.

Thriller 

This was the most popular of all Michael Jacksons music videos. This was considered a short film as it was 13 minutes long and had a massive impact on Michael's  carrer this was even shown in cinemas as well as CD's . This was when Michael was at his most popular as his name was seen very positively and was portrayed as a massive role model for teens and his fan base was massive. The making of this music video made millions. This video showed wolfs and was a very successful thriller the budget to this music video was one of the most highest budget spent on a music video to this day, and the sales was massive. They even produced another video in cinemas which was the making of this music video due to how much of a massive hit it truly was. After this music videos carried on becoming a bigger and bigger thing in the media.

Black or White 

Micheal made a music video to his song Black or white which hit millions of views due to the fact Michael's appearance had changed drastically due to his drastic surgery people suspected that due to Michael changing his skin colour to white he was abounding his nationality and where he came from where he should have embraced it when Michael released this song fans loved it as it was embracing many different races and nationalities and shows Michael agreeing with equality. However others would say Michael was contradicting himself due to the fact that he had changed his skin colour so people expressed mixed opinions on this music video however due to the massive lime light based on the surgery and the skin colour this music video has massive views and earned million due to it being the first music video produced since the change that Michael had.

Michael then had terrible publicity as he had rumoars circling him that he was a child molester, the surgery changes to Michael and these roamers was circling him in such a negative light this is also when people started stating he was a drug addict who was addicted to having surgery and everyone turned on him and his talent.
