Kanye West – Good

Life

Analysis of the video !

Why I like it ?

• What stands out to me the most in this music

video is the editing , they use a plain white

background and wear black and white clothing

which in turn allows the colourful editing to

stand out .

• Kanye west and T Pain are both narrating what

they view as the good life , the imagery they add

on is interesting to the eye and makes the video

different. It’s Simplistic but effective.

Examples !

Camera , Editing and

mise en scen

I’ve noticed through out the video as it’s a very simplistic they’ve added camera movement such as tilts , they also have a variety of shots like : Long shot , close up and wide shot to name a few. Most importantly the mise en scen in the music video links to the genre very well.

They are both wearing urban casual wear like coats , trainers and pain black trousers and t-shirts. This gives off the hip-hop genre .

I also looked at base tracks and noticed they used frequent base tracks
