Theorists: Micheal Shore

Micheal Shore was another theorist who provides us with a way to look at music videos. Some of his key features include:
: recycled styles
: Simulated experiences
: imformation overload
: image and style scavengers
: Vanity and the moment
: adolescent male fantasies
: speed, power, girls and wealth
: album art
: classic storyline motifs
: soft-core pornography
: clique imagery

An example which would provide us with an idea of what he means is Beyonce and Jay-Z's video - Bonnie and Clyde.
