Music Producers

The enormous success of music videos has opened a new and highly creative field to producers. Video producers are now in demand by record companies and recording artists who want visual interpretations of the songs they are promoting.
Music video producers are in charge of the financial and administrative aspects of video production. They are responsible for making a successful video while staying within a budget, which is usually one of the main factor when they start to create a music video. They often work with the director to hire the production team—the choreographer, film editor, lighting director, and director of photography.
In order to produce a successful music video, they must have creative, passion, enthusiastic people around them, with some great ideas, when they are making music video, as this is one of the main features, to being original and creative, in order to produce a music video which will makes the audience want to watch it more and more, which leads us to increasing the profit,because people will buy CD's which will have a huge impact on advertising specific band or the singer.

There are two kinds of producers:

• Executive Producer- who supervise a project's finances
• Music Producer- who supervise the creation of the music

Sam Phillips is not just one of the most important producers in rock history. There's a good argument to be made that he is also one of the most important figures in 20th-century American culture. As owner of 'Sun Records' and frequent producer of discs at his Sun Studios he was vital to launching the careers of Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Rufus Thomas and numerous other significant artists. Although he first made his mark (and a very deep one) with electric blues by Black performers, he will be most remembered for his rockabilly stars, particularly Elvis Presley.

• Eddie Kramer

Eddie Kramer is mostly known as a producer/engineer working closely with the biggest names of an era called: 'The Golden Age of Rock & Roll' ('67-'72). During that period the whole recording industry was a much better place in terms of the amount of freedom the bands were given in order for them to create their albums. He has worked with, among others, Led Zeppelin, Triumph, Kiss ( and solo Ace Frehley) Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Spooky Tooth, Peter Frampton, Curtis Mayfield, Santana, Anthrax,Carly Simon, Loudness and Robin Trower. But also known for his music photography.

Richard Dyer's Pop Star Theory

There are four main stages of this pop start theory, this included:

1, Starts As Constructions.
This means when stars are constructed, just artificial images, even if they are represented as being 'real people' same like everybody else, by showing real emotions. This is certainly true in pop music industry as the constructions of bands and artists is not even hidden from the public anymore, and sometimes we get to know about them more than we expect or want.(e.g. the stars scandals etc)

2, Industry And Audience

This means when starts are manufactured by the music industry to serve a purpose, in order to make money out of audiences, who respond to various elements of a star person by buying such as: records and becoming their fans as well as promoting their stars external, such as: buying the products where they are represented e.g. Miley Cyrus clothes etc. The main purpose of the institution is simple: to make money and make their stars become more popular.

http://www.zazzle.co.uk/miley+cyrus+gifts ( I have picked this website for the reason, in order to show how stars advertising them-self as well as showing their creativity by letting their managers to use their ''face'' and represent them on products, like in this case Miley Cyrus, who is famous young singer loved especially by the young generation )


3, Ideology And Cultural
This means when stars shared their cultural values and attitudes, as well as promoting a certain ideology e.g. Micheal Jackson who was king of pop and Madonna queen of pop. Both of them are promoting a certain ideology and sharing their attitudes to public, throughout lot's of scandals as well as the charities, which increased the sympathy from the audience, and has made them as their ''idols'' because they are representing the certain ideology, which helps to shape the cultural, social and ideology aspects.

4, Character And Personality

This means that when a star begins as a 'real' human, possessing gender and race characteristics, and existing against a social background. Another theory which could described ''Character and Personality'' is that ''the star transformation process turns them into a construct, but the construct has a foundation in the real.'', which is also important to know.

In order to make it more specific, I decided to show you this theory on ''Britney Spears'' who is an American singer, the mostly popular in 90's, who I believe fit perfectly to this theory of pop star by creating a small presentation on power-point, and using an internet in order to find as much information about her as possible as well as up-to-date information's.

The websites I have used, in order to create this presentation are:
