Make up from the video 

PERFORMANCE, NARRATIVE AND/OR CONCEPT?:

The video is performance with narrative. 

PERFORMANCE STYLE: 

Her performance style is closely linked to that of Lady Gaga with traits from others such as Miley Cyrus. Her performance in this video could be linked with Lady Gagas Alejandro due to them sharing the same director. 

STAR TREATMENT:

There is star treatment throughout the video as for most of it Brooke Candy is the only one who stars in it. There is extremely heavy focus on herself throughout the video. 

LOCATION/S + MISE-EN-SCENE: 

there are not many locations used in the video.

NOTABLE SHOTS/FRAMING: 

There is a lot of creative and innovative 

DIRECTOR STYLE:

The directors style is very unique, but the titles at the start of the video are characteristics often seen in hip-hop films and R&B. With the large titles filling the screen along with white text on a black background to make it stand out.
