This is one of my favourite music videos as its very flashy as the feeling of the lights are personified with life as its to do with Criminals- (cop lights) ,Partying-(strobe lights) ,Paparazzi (flash lights) and drugs(street lights). Each light has its own meaning as kanye explains the different lights and life.
The video starts in Black and white so we don't straight away go into the flashy scenes with an intro as we see a little girl walking in snow then as she turns to looks into the camera the lights start to flash on her. we then see the artist name in a Bold font followed by the featuring people. The edits that are used for this video is quite fast and jumpy as it matches the pace of the song. The narrative is verse chorus verse chorus as we are first introduced to the main artist of the song. Slow motions and Close ups shots are often used to show emotion and gives detail. The song also relates to the video( Illustration)
as its tells a story of a man who abused his wife and went to prison, came back but still cares about her and wants to raise his daughter in a good area."Cant let her grow up in that ghetto uni".He wants a better life for her. Chorus is sung by Rhianna, we see her centred in the middle at a mid shot as she dances. Basically these things can be amplified and bought to life.
