50 CENT - In Da Club
The song's lyrics are trying to establish 50 cent as a new rapper, and show everyone what he is all about.
My flow, my show brought me the dough
That bought me all my fancy things
My crib, my cars, my pools, my jewels
Look, nigga, I done came up and I ain't changed
If you watch how I move, you'll mistake me for a player or pimp
Been hit with a few shells, but I don't walk with a limp
These are a few of the lyrics in his music video. He talks about what he has achieved and what rough times he has been through and who he is. This links to the narrative of the music video where it seems to be that people are 'creating' 50 Cent in the music video, Therefore this song must be here to establish him as a rapper. This music video has a lot of disjuncture in it. At the start 50 Cent is talking about someone's birthday and the music video shows people developing 50 Cent in a lab, so the two are completely unrelated. This music video often cuts back and forth between the same shots in order yo keep it interesting but there aren't that many different shots apart from at the start, which is also what i found in the previous music video blog.
This song has only one link with the lyrics and what is shown on screen. 50 Cent says 'You can find me in the club' as one of his lines and for the majority of the video it shows him in a club. So I have found that if your main message is illustrated in the music video you are allowed to have some disjuncture within it as well.
Like most of these videos the main character is the rapper. In this case it is 50 Cent. He has 90% of the screen time allowing the audience to connect with him and his lyrics as he is staring into the camera and saying them for the majority of the music video.
At the start of the video it is very clear to see the colour correction making the scenery look blue to match the inside of the versatility. This gives a more futuristic atmosphere to the scene. During this start scene there are just white's and blues, hardly any other colour. This makes the scene seem more abnormal to what the audience is used to.
Then later on is the realistic 'club' part of the music video you see that the lighting is more low key and dim, giving it a more casual atmosphere which contrasts to the high key lighting we see at the start. This will then allow the audience to separate the two scenes. Also there are a lot more colours added into this part of the song to change it further.
