BIEBER FEVER
I wanted to look into obsessed fandom through the internet and youtube videos. A few years ago, I made a documentary about the Twilight obsession and wanted to do something along the same line. I chose Bieber Fever, the newest obsession. With that, I looked into youtube for crazed fans who confess their love for him through their videos. It illustrates this relationship that fans feel they have with their celebrity. It is their form of dialogue, in hopes that their celebrity might see it. This is a very short idea of what I was trying to do. It’s like the idea in fast forward. But I think it still gets that notion of obsession across. After doing this, and then researching Jillian McDonald and Paul Pheiffer, it seems like a good direction for my final thesis. I’m actually considering this kind of work rather than a documentary to be a better route for me to go.
