I have a question about the music video of Beat it, in the end of the video, it seem there are some screams, like there are a public or something like that, what we can understand about that ? That the plot is just about a show or a movie and that nothing is real ? I really want to know , thanks for advance.

They filmed on location and I think some of the locals were near the set watching (same as with Thriller). I remember Will.I.Am saying in an interview that he lived nearby and his mother wouldn't let him go hang around the set with his friends. I think he was only 11 or 12 at the time. Anyway, the ppl you hear screaming/cheering are the neighborhood onlookers/fans...and Will's friends. :lol:

I admit I have wondered why they left the cheering in becuz it's kinda random. Did someone yell "CUT" and Michael just kept on dancing? :beatit:lol

I don't think it's the just public, they could take away this sound but keep that, I would like to know if there are a reason about that.

Perhaps Bob Geraldi thought it was interesting. The cheering was most likely added, because it's a music video and there's no live sound anyway. If there was you'd hear the footsteps from the dancing, walking, etc.

its like people cheering at the end of the video. and the cheering was intentionally added.

at the begining of Dirty Diana, is like that too.

^^^^^^On a film set, a director is not going to allow a bunch of extras to just start making noise on their own. A music video doesn't have live sound (unless it's recorded from a concert), the music and sound effects are added in post production.
