Focused Analysis: Mise-en-scene

I chose this music video to analyse the use of props and special effects appearing in the video. The video begins with Miley Cyrus coming out of the cinema with her 'boyfriend', who is holding a drink. A special effect is used right from the beginning of the video to interest the audience into keep watching. The drink turns into a camera and the boyfriend becomes a paparazzi, Miley then runs off screaming. The rest of the video is located in a car park with Miley hiding from many paparazzi's trying to take photographs of Miley. The scene's with Miley singing the song is effected due to the flashing background lights which relates to the use of camera's in the music video. At the end the paparazzi dance in a huddle with their props which relates to the song and the pop styled theme/track.
