Mise En Scene

Location
The location of the music video is set in various places such as a bedroom,studio and a front garden. The location of a bedroom is effective because it shows that the artist is comfortable and safe. The location of a studio is effective because you get to see the two artist Chris Brown and The Game preform for their audience. Also the location of the front garden is effective because you get to see the sort of lifestyle of the artist.

Iconography
The iconography in this video is effective because you get to see the artist lifestyle. For example when the little boy looks out the window he can see people in his front garden lifting weights and there is also one car. This could show the audience that he isn't as rich or wealthy as they thought he was.

Lighting And Colour
lighting and colour is effective in this scene because it could show that his son is like him when he was younger. We know this because when he is laying down on the bed with him they are both throwing the ball in the same way. This is effective because it tells the audience that his son wants to be like his dad when hes older. This allows the audience to build a relationship with the artist because the lighting allows the audience to interpret what he has been through and the audience can interpret that what he has been through is dark due to the lighting and colour.

Costume
The costumes that the artist wear are effective because it shows that the artist are the same as any other person. For example when The Game and his son look out the window you see people in jeans and a vest, The Game is also wearing jeans and a vest so this shows that he is the same as anyone else.

Body Language
The body language of the artist show that they are confident and not intimidated by anything. For example when The Game goes to walk to the car his facial expressions shows that he is annoyed at something and then when he walks off he doesn't look happy.

Facial Expressions
The facial expressions on the characters show that they are missing something and also they look like they are happy. For example when Chris Brown is in the studio and he is singing you can see that he is emotional over something. And also when there is a dead sound, when it goes back into the song you see The Game put his arm over Chris Browns and The Game's Facial expressions look happy.
