Stars as constructions
- Stars are constructed, artificial images
- USP (Universal Selling Point) ---> they can be copied and/or parodied because of it
Dyer says: "A star is an image not a real person that is constructed (as any other aspect of fiction is) out of a range of materials"
Industry and Audiences
- Stars are made to appeal to audiences, which will in turn generate revenue for record companies
Dyer says: "Stars are commodities produced and consumed on the strength of their meanings"
Character and Personality
- A star begins as a 'real' human but the star transformation process turns them into a construct
