What you should have on your blogs so far...

1. Case study of a recording artist's image over time
• Star Image: Tracing Star Development through Music Video
• Which star did you analyse? What time period did you focus on?
• Summarise the changing image of your star (refer to a range of characteristic features)
• Textual evidence of early star image (include video references)
• Textual evidence of how star image develops (include video references)
• Theoretical, social and cultural contexts (e.g.: is star image connected to ideas about gender identity; sexuality; stardom itself; "girl power"; ethnic representation; discourses of power?)
• Institutional contexts (changes in signings; the star as brand; synergy; marketing; filming styles)
• How will you use this research to inform your production work?
