1. Mise-en-Scene Analysis
In this image of hip-hop rapper Tyga, the background suggests his status as a
successful, wealthy and edgy artist. The all
black and blue colour code creates a dark
look. The colour black in hip-hop shows
the rebellious nature that’s within the
people the music genre. Despite Tyga
sitting down on the stairs of could be his
mansion, there can still be some prejudice
and assumptions of him being a criminal.
The colours that he wears could give away
this impression. The blue trainers that he
is wearing seem to stand out, just like the
artist would like to stand out against all the other artists within the hip-hop
genre. The blue adds a little colour to what would otherwise be a dull outfit for
the audience to look at. The artists dress sense makes him look young, as it
would be something that the youth would wear. His jewelry shows off his wealth
and that he enjoys the luxuries in life and his hat which is promoting his mix
tape, could a be a promotional convention. Tyga makes eye contact with the
audience in a way that suggests both confidence and defiance. The way in which
he leans forwards on the stairs adds a ‘back to business’ approach.
This image of captures Chris Browns elegance and sophistication and his
dedication to the smart dressing lifestyle. A
suarve navy suit that matches the
background of the image, catches the
audience as its not what hip hop artists
would normally be seen in, stereotypically
speaking. His facial expression is very
masculine, showing the nature of the hiphop genre. his stance and posture show a
man that means his business and the fact
that he’s looking down at the audience
could show his dominance and the idea that
he is ‘better than the rest’ a common
attitude within the hip hop music genre. His
facial expression also matches his body
language
and
makes
Chris
look
intimidating, it reflects his spirit, vibrancy
and extroverted personality. The hands in
his pockets suggest that he’s the leader and
he can do what he wants. It suggests that he is an individual and he can handle
and pull off a new look, in such the same way he has brought something new to
the music industry. His short hair indicates his simple way of life, and an old
fashioned masculine look, whilst the dark lighting in the room could portray
nostalgia or neglect.

2. In this image, Hip-Hop music singer Rihanna stares boldly at the camera in a way
that suggests a no care attitude and bucket loads of attitude. Her eyeliner is
sharp and her curly hair changes color
from a dark brown to a light brown.
This may signify her change as a hiphop artist, from a sweet innocent
teenager, into a nonchalant adult. The
hair is done in a way to show her as a
grown up, and to show the audience
her attractive and provocative side.
Her hair falls over the eyes, drawing
attention to them. Rihanna makes eye
contact with the audience in a way that
shows her confidence and her facial
expressions may show the audience of
her mischievous behavior and what
type of woman Rihanna really is. The
way she leans forward in the image
adds a casual nonchalance to the
image, making her seem aloof. The
image captures Rihanna elegance, and
the middle finger in her mouth could
show her rebellious side, which the
hip-hop genre so much likes to do. The
watch could show her wealth, and her success in the music genre and her
flowing long hair styled in loose curls indicate fieriness and a old fashioned
femininity, whilst the décor of the room help to portray Rihanna as a unique
artist.
