Cinematography:
The first shot that opens up the video is an establishing shot of the city Pittsburgh where Mac Miller is from. The second shot is of him in the centre of the frame showing us all the conventions that would normally be seen in a hip hop video. The hat, chain all show us his wealth that we would intertwine with hip hop music. Throughout the video we see a lot going on within the video where Mac Miller is the centre of attention. Different shots. We get a range of mid shots to close up also.
Mise En Scene:
The mise en scene switches a lot through the video. Firstly, it starts on the roof and then it goes into a room where he is laying down. Its almost trying tell us a story and maybe demonstrate something he is trying to show through his lyrics in the video. He then moves into a club where you see people with other conventions matching his which sums up hip hop.
Editing:
The editing within the video is very simplistic. It includes most things that other hip hop videos would have. There typical stereotype in the club scenes with the artist being centre frame. There were many short sharp shots also which helped create an emphasis on the video and diminish any viewer fatigue.
