Artists As Texts
The Reebok advert featuring 50 Cent glamorises violence in various ways by the use of sound, editing, camera angles and shots. The camera angles that are mainly used within the advert are close up shots and low angel shots. The low angel shots of 50 Cent signifies domination, superiority and power, whereas the close up shots mainly focus on the details of his expressions and his representation. In the advert we can clearly see 50 Cent's facial expressions which show no emotion showing that he has no fear or weakness.
Websites are a great viral way of showing an artist. http://www.eminem.com/Default.aspx
Also articles provide an inside into the artist themselves. Articles can show artists in a positive or a negative light depending on the subject matter. However many articles are used to show the artists as being out of place or being too radical for some viewers. An example of this would be Rhianna's song"S&M".
