PEER NOTES.
Point:
Setting and iconography.
House, Front Garden.
Ball.
Evidence:
Set in a house a the begining '0:12' when he is laying on the bed with his son.
Set in the front garden '1:24' to when his son runs out and The Game starts rapping.
Playing with a ball at the begining on the bed with his son.
Explain:
Set in the house too show that he has a relationship with his son, also it shows the audience that you shouldnt judge a book by its cover as he is looking after his son in the ghetto and peoples perspectuves of the ghetto is that its bad and not good to raise children there.
Set in the front garden shows thats it is a safe area for his child too play in.ypo
Playing with the ball on the bed shows his connection between him and his son.
Relate:
This relates to the audience as they might have children of their own and live in the ghetto and will want people to have a different purspective of the ghetto.
As the music video begins it shows a basketball game of friends playing basketball. They are all wearing long shorts and some with vests and some with no tops on at all, this is because they are playing a sport which they are getting hot and sweaty in.
Similar to this, further on in the music video the people in the video are using weights and working out, they made their own gym outside one persons house. Again they are wearing vests and long shorts as this will be comfortable to move in and they dont want to be dressed up in something that is going to make them feel hot.A long shot was used for this so you can see every character and see what is going on.
A clip is shown of the game's son looking out the window watching the men downstairs towards the car. This is showing how his son sees everything that goes on. which is bad because his son should not be seeing it however it shows the relationship between him and his son because his son is always with him where ever he goes. The camera shot that is used here is a high angle camera shot so you are in the position of his son looking down on everybody.
P2- Your mise-en-scene analysis shows a basic understanding of the micro element and the chosen music video. This is because you have only analysed one element and you still need to makes notes on the other points too.
ReplyDeleteAlso when you are relating your points you need to discuss how the example informs the audience of the music genre that they are watching.
