Mise-en-scene:

the costume at night all the acts are in black or grey with shnny objecs around their necks and wrists, they all arive in different forms of transport(a helicopter, a motorbike and a lambourgini car), when they go into the club they are all dressed in red and white with the male characters wearing big black sun glasses and wearing their trade mark materials (hats, chains, earings).
one of the male characters uses up to date lyrics by talking about facebook a communication device on the internet. they use lyrics like neddle in a hay stack and some others to show their writing talents. when they meet the opposite sex they want to talk to they enter a room of privacy and their fantasies of richs and pleasure. the shots makes them cut to outside with their modes of transport all showing, then when they all get together for the chorus they are all sat on a lightened up seat in the club showing their importance, the second male character goes inot his room of pleasure and riches and its full of tvs and fish bowles and posters. all the rooms had a red look in them to show the heat of the moment meeting someone for the first time and showing the heat of the moment. at the end of the video the artisits show off all their belonging such as cars bling and eyes which most arists wearing sunglasses don't show as much.

Editing:

The songs starts with the helicopter car and bike shown in different ways, the shots cut from the three different stars and they are full body shots. with close ups of the face on the stars when they start to sing, theres a whipe across the screen to show what they did the night before and show the face expressions of the people they like and shows the order the song is goin to go in with the way they look at the singers, it goes mid shot full body then back to close up to show the intestity of the moment, and does a slow motion walk as they are let down, also shows a point of view shot of the first character on facebook, the character all gather round the camera at different heights to show all their faces in the sceen, when the female character starts singing there are 7 cuts of different settings with the close up of her face the visual relates to the lyrics with the "Bang bang shoes" and the "looking so confused" face expression. and when the chorus starts the shots differ between close ups, full shots, low angles, high angles, three shots with zoom ins and zoom outs when the second male singer starts singing his solo there is a two mid shot, with close ups to show his lip syncing when he has a girl in his section with most of the shot looking up at him with low angles and when the girl leaves as he comes back he is in slow motion as he looks for her and a mid shot of him swinging his arm in frustration as he loses her. As the song comes to an end the cameras angles show the artists as only human but still pretty important with a tilt shot of the artists to show of their bodies in the way they want to see them potrayed on television, the music video finishes with a shot showing all the artists and finishes with a tilt and a shot of the sun rise to show another day is going to happen so forget about the past.






Represenation:

It shows the stars as gangsters but they still have feeling and want to meet the right person for them.
