I have chosen to form a group with one of my piers in my
media class and we are going to be focusing on the RNB genre and our chosen
artist is Nicki Minaj. We have chosen the song ‘Beez in the trap’ the video is
mostly aimed at a teenage and older audience as they are able to understand the
mise en scene in the video. The video is mainly performative as it doesn’t involve
a clear narrative that we can read throughout the video and therefore could
seem slightly unappealing to certain audiences. The crude lyrics are also going
to be less appealing to the younger audience, the smoking and setting of
nightclubs and Nicki Minaj’s lack of clothing in the video may also be seen as
inappropriate by certain audiences. The idea of wealth is reflected throughout
the video through the mise en scene, everyone is dancing and drinking with money
to obviously spend in these nightclubs, good looking people dancing also gives
an example of a certain lifestyle in which they are living. Younger audiences
are not going to be able to relate to this, but also perhaps older audiences of
40+ are not able to relate to this either as that scene is probably no longer a
part of their lifestyle.
