1983 MTV is two years. Specializing in music, this satellite channel reaches ten million homes and targets 12 - to 25 years of age. At that time, a video-based karaoke-music aesthetic recovered rapidly and with little money. The videos are not a statement, and are falling fast.
The King of Pop has revolutionized the genre and sets new standards. He invented a mini-comedy music and Gore, Thriller. The decisions are aesthetic and visual intrigue in this video,innovations. At this time the public is not familiar with this genre. (Jackson also strikes a universal chord, the fear of death).
MTV first broadcast the video on December 2, 1983, more than a year after the album's release. See how innovative presentation, the video contains a disclaimer, a title and credits.
Michael Jackson tells a story with a beginning, a middle and an end ", in which clips of 14 minutes. In a stroke of geniusArtists finance the production of $ 500,000 video-clip with the money from the sale of the making of the clip.
Technical details: this "video clip is produced in a film. If this film could benefit from a certain category would get full potential for an Oscar. How dashes visual anomaly that possibility.
While Thriller perhaps have never received an Oscar nod, to bear the image:
Michael and his girlfriend are driving at night. Rungas. "So, what we do now?" smiling young woman who seems to be the game for a moment of love. Instead of fulfilling his duty as a man, Michael reveals the light of the full moon to be) a werewolf with yellow eyes, the image of the beast from Beauty and the Beast (Jean Cocteau, 1946 The chase begins. . The monster grabs the girl and waves his claws on them. ... But it was only a movie in a cinema, Michael is laughing, while his girlfriendThe eyes are closed. The girl leaves. Michael connects them a joke. The couple is from a cemetery. The graves begin to move. The living dead in ragged clothes, emerge from their graves. The couple was surrounded. Suddenly Michael is the head of the group of zombies. He is green broke and beautiful jacket.
Since then, the music video industry will keep this style of dance with the actors, lined up with the new standard. Permutations couldlook different, but the concept began with Thriller.
When he sings, Michael is no longer a zombie, his Star Trek jacket is patched, and his red jeans are clean and pressed. It 's like a new song of his life.
Then the zombies are increasingly threatening. The girl takes refuge in a house that recalls, in Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho." Michael will again be a zombie. The living dead bang on the door of the "castle". They break down the walls and infiltrate. Michael demolished aDoor with bare hands. The girl is pushed into a corner, terrified. She screams. Then he wakes up in a bourgeois environment, with Michael before her. He is not thin like a zombie.
Again, it was only a dream! Now get ready to MJ to accompany the girl home. When you turn the camera, has yellow eyes of the werewolf, who had just appeared in early films.
Freeze-frame.
There are six key sequences to be considered in Thriller:
1) Out ofGas (0.00 ea 02.07 clock)
2) "The Werewolf" (2.07 ea 03.39 clock)
3) "just a movie" (3.39 ea 08.23 clock)
4) "Michael is a Zombie" (8.23 ea 11.44 clock)
5) "Wake Up" (11.44 ea 11.54 clock)
6) Finish: "Michael was a werewolf!" (11:54)
The video plays on the multiple dichotomies: human, animal, living and dead, good / bad, and real / imaginary. The changes combined with any plot developments.
So at the beginning of the clip Michael transformed from a "good man" in a "bad animal" and so on.The OK, it was just fiction! and no, it was true! The accusations, push the viewer back constantly, thinks of the film. It is reality or fiction? You never know where you are. Everything moves too fast. This video is like a giant roller coaster, we are glued to our seats, go for the adrenaline, cozy feeling of fear, and sets the understanding of history. This contributes to the success of the clip. To understand, you see it again and again.
Let'sPropose an interpretation. It 'must start at the end of the video when the girl wakes up in the middle atmosphere (5). The gas machine (1), the werewolf 2 () were cinemas (3), and the Zombies (4) any part of a great dream. We can therefore conclude that in his dream, theater young woman had a premonition that Michael was a werewolf (it is the revelation of the film in it). Later, she dreams that her friend turned into a sweet greenZombie. And 'as if it was also his unconscious sends a strong warning.
After Michael the girl wakes up from his nightmare, and suggests that he accompany her gently, showing his yellow eyes, back to the way the girl will be killed by werewolf ... a further indication of the beginning of the clip. The circle closes.
The background video is key to diversion of their own sex in a death instinct. " Like the man, Dr. Jekyll, in comparison to our animalalter-ego, Mr. Hyde, externalizing the character of his instincts, but not as expected. He pulls the woman apart (and eat them tear) offer, instead of his affection. And 'as if she frightens him. On another level, and in general to represent the "Monster" the Unconscious, in order to eliminate all forces, and then try to express in a sudden and violent.
Thriller remains the King of Pop magnum opus. As an innovative work of art, theseVideo makes sense, because the scenes to combine both pictures and music. Thriller maximizes this link: in each image, the choreography is synchronized with music. Moreover, in line with the tour of the set, this video, "the circle". The final product is a remarkable unity and is just to conquer the world.
