What is a music video?
The genre of this music video is RnB, Rap. The beat to the song is face paced which features Drake rapping about how much money he has and what he likes doing with it.
He says he is floating in and out of consciousness and the video keeps cutting to black quick. This allows the audience to understand what is going through his head.
There are close ups of Drakes face when he is in the elevator as he is singing. It shows what he is wearing and that he is smoking a cigar. When someone smokes a cigar it suggests that they have quite a bit of money.
His clothes change frequently during the video. This attracts audience as it engages them more. Also, the changing of clothes relates to the narrative of him having money to spend.
This music video is more narrative than anything else. The narrative is about him getting money and what it has done to him,getting confidence, getting really drunk without caring about the consequences. In the video is shows him and some friends all around an expensive looking table toasting to his success.
There is a relationship between the music lyrics and the visuals as he sayd "Money over everything, money on my mind" he is in an elevator dressed smartly in some expensive looking clothes and smoking a cigar looking over the city as if he owns it.
This music video is narrative based as he is talking about how he did not have money at one point but now he does. "I know I exaggerated things, now I got it like that" The images you see throughout the music video shows that he has money, when people smoke cigars they usually are quite well off.
