Mise en scene:
- The Location for this music video is New york city, in the video you see Jay Z in lots of different locations in new york mainly famous or well known building and monuments i.e Empire State, Times Square... The reason this song is set in new york is because the song is about new york and mainly the empire state building.
- The costumes used in this music video is casual clothing and then smart clothing on the female singer, the reason these 2 costumes are seen in the video is the female singer is from the pop genre so she dresses differently to Jay Z who is from the Rap genre.
- The lighting in this video is just natural lighting as you wouldn't notice lighting as the whole video is in black and white
Editing:
- The editing in this video is really good, because the video flows well with the lyrics and links, at the start of the video they show pictures in time with the drums this works really well and fits in, then after this it cuts to a shot of Jay Z in new york the cuts in this video flow well and look good.
- The rest of the music video is pretty simple and just contains some fade transitions etc... also the whole video is in black and white which makes the lights and area which is new york look better.
Camerawork:
- The camerawork in this video works really well, and flows well, some examples of some good shots, are the shot over the new york skyline at night this is a very good panning shot and adds a break into the video
- Another good piece of camera work is when the female singer is playing the piano in times square, there is a good long shot which is zooming in on the female singer, with the main part of times square behind her
