We are constructing our star image in the
video to be a very cool, easy going character that is relatable to audiences in
the way that he comes across as similar to the young teens and young adults
that his music is directed towards. He will be a mid 20s male that is very
original and represents youthfulness.He will display creativity and talent
throughout the video leading the audience to look up to him and aspire to be
like him, but seeing this as an achievable goal due to him being an organic
artist that is relatable. This is making him a paradox in the sense that he
will be both ordinary and extraordinary for the consumer.
Richard Dyer
suggested that starts depend upon a range of subsidiary media, whether it
be magazines, TV, radio or the internet in order to construct an image for
themselves which can be marketed to their target audiences. He also said that
the star image consists of a range of meanings that are considered attractive
to the target audiences.“A star is an
image, not a real person, that is constructed out of a range od materials such
as videos, artwork, performances and media appearances.”Our artist’s
unique selling point is that he is talented, good looking, colourful and
original.
Shakka is the original artist of the song
"When Will I See You Again" and we are going in the direction of his kind of vibe as he is very colourful, bubbly and similar to the star image we are after.

This is Shakka's website, as you can see it is very colurful and therefore similar to that of our own star image.
This is similar to that of MNEK,
This is MNEK’s website:
Rihanna is also similar as her unique selling point is most definitely her image, body and good looks, in the same way we want our star image to be good looking and sold on his image.
Honor. You have posted detailed blogging which is fully reflective of the research process and development of your key ideas. There is a reliance on text and image in your presentation of ideas - try to incorporate more hyperlinks/ presentational tools which will make your blog more dynamic. You have completed most of the tasks and I like the way in which you have reflected on the Pitch to Luke and developed the treatment. The star image is starting to take shape as you consider not just the music video as a promotional to, but also how a USP can be marketed across a music publicity campaign with good references to actual music examples.
