Michael Jackson- Billie Jean

Camera/Editing: In the beginning of the video the colouring is black and white with a dark contrast which sets a dark and scary atmosphere. The setting is also isolated so this enhances the danger and engages the audience as they want to find out more. The slow motion shadow shots start to pace up and turn to jump cuts of different body shots (hand, legs, body) which creates the illusion of flashes which slowly introduces whats about to happen to the audience. Suddenly it turns into normal colour onto the  singer Michael Jackson immediately walking down the path we've just witnessed in black and white, now in colour. The shot of (0.8seconds) of the character of an illeged investigator flashes up and then instantly disappears, which is effective as it creates the eery effect of being watched.

Narrative: The plot shows the moral decay and poverty of the setting but it's also talking about an overobsessive fan that thinks that her kid is Michael Jacksons's son. It is slightly clear throughout the video as we get the idea of being stalked.
