This document discusses mise-en-scene analysis and its application to hip hop music videos. Mise-en-scene refers to everything within the frame of a shot or sequence of shots that can convey meaning to the viewer. It includes five domains: setting/props, costumes/appearance, facial expressions/body language, lighting/color, and positioning within the frame. The document then analyzes the 2005 music video for "The Come Up" by AZ, noting how elements of mise-en-scene like the derelict outdoor setting, naturalistic clothing, serious facial expressions, black and white coloring, and positioning contribute to constructing themes of authenticity, hip hop masculinity, and life in the streets.
