Mise On Scene Of a Music Video

Game - Pot of Gold ft Chris Brown

The setting in this music video is of where Game lives. This relates to the song as Chris Brown says “All the spotlight is not for me” he is saying that even though he has money, it is not going to change who he is, or where he comes from. At the beginning of the music video there are pictures of him when he was younger, this also relates to the song as Chris Brown says “I miss the days when life was simple”. This shows the audience that Game isn’t going to change his lifestyle just because he has money.

Throughout the video everyone is wearing normal clothes; there isn’t anyone who is in a costume to represent anything. This shows the audience that he is real and isn’t going to change who he is just because he has fame to his name, he is going to stay true to who he is.

The lighting when Game starts rapping at the beginning is quite low-key, this would be because he is talking about how his life has been, and that things didn’t go very well for him. This shows the audience that these were the times of his life when it hasn’t been so easy. The lighting in the music video goes to light key as he goes outside with his son. Outside there are his friends in his front garden, people he has known since he was younger. This shows the audience that he is more interested in being himself rather than letting money change him.

This music video is conventional to the rap genre because he is rapping about his life, which is where the music video is based, around the area he was brought up and has lived throughout his life. The music video also contains people he has known sinse he was young which is conventional to the music video as he talks about he is not going to change, so he will not cut people out of his life just because he is famous.
