Analysis of Music Video 5



Cinematography:

The first shot we see is a close up of a woman clutching her baby. Immediately we feel intrigued and want to watch on. We then get an establishing shot of the hospital room. This gave the viewer the feeling that a story or scene was going to unfold. Throughout the music video, we are given with a story which unravels. The shots within the video were short sharp with different angles to create an emphasis on the specific shot that was taken.




Mise En Scene:

The mise en scene is based in several different locations. Firstly we see a shot of a hospital. We then see the story unravel where the artist Lil Wayne is shown to us in a classroom and hallway. Within the shots, we see he has the stereotypical conventions which we associate hip hop with. He is topless in one of the shots where we see he has a chain and tattoos with glasses on.


Editing:

Editing within the video is established very well. There are many short, sharp shots with different angles to create emphasis. For example, the 1st shot where they show a close up of the lady who has her hand on her stomach in the hospital. This intrigued the viewer and kept us watching the video.
 

Here in this pic. We see the shot was taken very specifically. The half lighting over her face which may be an explantion to some sort of dark side that she may be going through.
