Jean Baudrillard.
PASTICHE – Means to combine multiple
elements. In postmodern media this can be a homage or a parody of past styles.
It can often reference pop culture as part of the narrative.
Postmodern productions often blur the lines
between good and evil, light and dark for both viewers and characters.
HYPER REALITY- is a condition in which reality has
been replaced by simulacra.
SIMULACRA- an image or representation of someone
or something.
Give examples of Billie Jean aligning with Baudrillard.
Pastiche- The set is both an homage and parody of Singing in the Rain. An homage because it is referencing it and a parody because it is dark and gloomy, which could suggest that when black people do it, it is represented as dark and gloomy.
Simulacra- Michael Jackson has the ability to make the floor light up if he steps on it and change a man's appearance.
Hyper Reality- These powers seem to be normalised within the video, there is no surprising reaction to them which would happen in reality.
