Narrative
Derived from life experience Jackson faced in 1981 - a girl had written to him claiming that he was the father of the child. Gives money to the poor and everything he touches is magic and gets better He is the false hero Equilibrium - Michael meets Billie Jean in the city |
Cinematography
Montage at the start and straight away shows the detective - whereas in the music video it takes 2 minutes for Michael to appear
Camera pans with him at the start Takes inspiration from film noir In a rundown urban area |
Editing
Lighting is used to build up perception - his feet literally always lights up the floor and when he walks past or touches something it seems to give it life
Black and white at the start but as soon as he comes in the video everything changes to color Building up to see his face - we go from his feet to his legs to then his face |
Mise en Scene
Stereotypical characters 'the paparazzi' or the 'nosy elderly neighbor'. Invokes another genre of popular culture e.g he taps at one point in the video - this is popularised by stars such as Gene Kelly (Singing in the Rain) |
