To gain a better understanding of the conventions for a stars image within our genre I created a moodboard of different aspects of a stars image from within my genre to understand where their values lie and what their attitudes are like.
To further understand the conventions of my genre and how that would link back to the stars in my own music video, I looked at Nirvana as a band. I looked at the metanarrative that they created throughout all of their media appearances in their own music, interviews, albums, etc and how this metanarrative showed what they were like and what they stood for / believed in. This was done through finding photos of the band, pictures of the band from different live performances, digipak’s from the bands albums, newspaper articles about the band and looking at them on spotify.
In future, I will take the skills I’ve learnt about star image analysis and put that towards my own work to develop a star that is true to the genre they perform in by using a repertoire of elements such as a more edgier outlook on life and a more alternative approach to music and also to use this star image and take it into other aspects of my media course work by creating a metanarrative for my star that fits within the boundaries of my genre.
