Mise-en-scene

In the mise-en-scene we can use the clothes which follow the gangster theme and the clothes are stylish as well as casual. The props used also follow the theme of the video and such props like guns are used.

First impressions

My first impression of the video is it seems as though its going to tell a story. The props and clothes are all the same theme which is a gangster theme. the opening scenes are quite tense before the music begins and it seems as though something big is going to happen.

Music video research

We watched the top 100 greatest music videos in our media class. The music videos include ' pass the dutchie' which is performed my musical youth who were the first black group to perform on MTV. We saw a video by Bronski Beat who are a gay scottish band, we saw a video by so solid crew where each member had 21 seconds to introduce themselves and we also saw Bonnie tyler who was the first welsh artist to enter the U.S. charts. A controversial video we saw was Herbie Hancock 'rockit' as he was a black artist he was not allowed in the video although he featured for a few seconds in the video.
