comparing the cinematography in different rap videos

1. In the first video by Cardi B called Bodak yellow, we see lots of high angle shots to help establish the location of the music video as the location can be very key in establishing how the music video plays out. In the next couple of scenes, there is a variation of shots for example the low angle shot this has been used to help give the artist cardi b a sense of power as she looks like shes towering over the camera, furthermore wide-angle and close-ups have been used. the wide-angle shots have been used to show off the various other locations with the artist in the background with various other aspects like exotic animals. The close-up shots have been used to show the emotion of the artist within the music video.  

2. The second video is by 6ix9ine and is the song, Gotti at the start of the video we see a view tracking shots following around the girls cast in the music video but also we see panoramic shots of the view in the background of the whole music video this yet again helps establish some sort of location for the video. In addition, we see a lot of close-ups to show the rappers expensive jewelry around his neck this is to portray to the audience that he is wealthy and powerful as well as to show the group of girls he has behind him to show off that money can buy you anything you want

.

3. The final video is Going Bad by Drake and Meek Mill the video again starts with a panoramic showing off the whole building the artists are in as well as there is a sky view of the building from the outside that has been taken by a helicopter. Moreover, we then see medium and wide-angle shots this is to show that the artists are with a huge group of people that has some special appearances like Nipsey Hussle and T.I this has been done purposely so the audiences notice these artists. Furthermore, we also get a full 360 view around a rolls Royce as it crashes in the music video we get to see the camera from a close up where it comes right at the camera to a wide-angle shot where we see it crash.
