Richard Dyer has written extensively about the role of stars in film, TV and music. Inrespective of the medium, stars have some key features in common. A star in an image, not a real person that is constructed (as any other aspect of fiction is) out of a range of materials (e.g advertising, magazines, etc. as well as films and music). Stars use internet, T.V, radio, magazines to construct an image for the film. Dyers theory is based around 2 paradox's.
Paradox one - The star must be ordinary and extraordinary
Paradox two - The star must be simultaneously present and absent to consumer (private life that audience wants to know more about)
