Game - Pot Of Gold ft. Chris Brown

Chris brown Ft the game- Pot of gold
I am going to analyse the 5 elements of a music video which is mise en scene includes lighting, iconography, setting, body language and costume.


The music video was set In three to four different locations one of the main locations were the house Chris brown and the little kid was at home this was one of the locations as the lyrics started “I wished I closed my eyes and I was home”. The other locations the character most appeared was the studio this was used so they can put in top lighting so they can create a glamorous look in the character and finally when one of the characters were under a low bridge walking and singing.
There was a lot of low key lighting used which is dark and small areas with light Low key light accentuates the contours of an object by throwing areas into shade while a fill light or reflector may illuminate the shadow areas to control contrast. This build a relationship with the audience because the audience understand more about his past as it talks about his past. Secondly high key lighting has been used this has been used so it can make the music video look more realistic this is used so that you can focus on the main character. And lastly there was top lighting used to create a glamorous look in to the character as when they was in the studio this was used so we know only in that point the two characters were the focus.


The costume the character used was mostly topless and with hoodies this makes them seem strong and so they can attract female throughout the video by showing of their six packs and tattoos. Their body language is more liked stress and strong. This represents them even more stronger as they are stressed this is convention to the music video as it allows the audience to understand what is going on with the character and what the video is about.


There was a basketball, car, weights and a guitar in most of the scene these were used this is because it can match the lyrics so the director of the video wanted to show them in there visuals this is conventional as it helps the audience to understand it much better rather than the visual.
