Research Music Video 1 - Michael Jackson: The way you make me feel

Is there a particular music genre or type of music video that you like? If so name it, embed the music video from from youtube and explain why you like it  
I particularly like pop videos as they usually are very upbeat and and can relate to a modern TA more, whereas more classical genres target older audiences and have more traditional music videos. Also pop videos use a wider range of technology in their music videos which can relate to the ideas for my music video.
 

This is the music video for Michael Jacksons song 'The Way You Make Me Feel' and I chose to analyse this video as it includes many intriguing shot types that I would like to use in my music video. One type of shot that I like in particular is the medium close up 2 shot of the couple at the end of the video where the mise en scene has been edited so you cannot see the faces of the couple but see their dark shadows with ambient lighting used in the background to make it light so the couple stand out to the viewer and can tell what their actions are clearly. I feel that there is a type of fan blowing to make the females hair look like it is blowing in the wind which could make her look more attractive and show the effect of the sexual tension like the man is blowing her away.

Another shot that I like is the long shot of the males in the street. I like this because it clearly shows that Michael is the leader of the group because he is directly in the middle of them all as there are 5 of them. again the mise en scene is altered so you can see the dark figures of the men all stood in a line, however it has what looks like a broken car behind them which could suggest that they are in a broken down street. You can make from the outline of the guy on the left that he is wearing a cap on backwards and the rest are in quite 'gangster/street' like clothing, which could work in cohesion with the location that they are in. Also it could represent their social class and could suggest that they are lower class.

Whereas the woman looks as if she is of a middle class as you can see she is wearing make up and jewellery which could also add a sense of sexual tension. She is also wearing a black dress which could represent her as a dark figure. However in this image you can see that the light is on the females face as there is a dark background which could represent her as a bright character. This close up shot of the woman's face shows her reaction to the mans anger, which is quite stereotypical as the male seems pretty angry, which is a stereotype of men.

This shot is very interesting because the males actions shows his sexual nature and intensions. This is very stereotypical of men as they are stereotyped to always want sex and be the gender that cares most about having sex, this also represents the meaning behind the singers lyrics and suggests that the song is very sexual. Again, like the group shot of the men, the males clothes represents him as a 'gangster/street/ character and that he is wearing a blue shirt over the top of his t-shirt which is a very stereotypical male colour and could represent his masculinity.
