Mise en scene 

for the music video the Mise en scene will be very different to how a love song or a pop song will be, costume in rap music is very important as it portrays what kind of person the artist is, its their image how everybody recognizes them. for a rap genre I would like it if my artist would conform to the generic conventions of what a typical rap artist would wear. It is mostly common for a rap artist to wear the cloths that makes them look 'ghetto'.

to achieve this look we would have our artist to wear cloths such as hoodies, jeans, tracksuits, and most urban brands such as Adidas,Nike, Hollister. as we want to conform to audience pleasures these are the brands that our audience are going to recognize as they most likely wear the same brands as them.
