My favourite music video



The narrative of this video is that the protagonist, XXXTENTACION who is also the person singing is actually dead and is taking in what he has left behind in the world as he witnesses people having fun in remembrance of him at his funeral as they dance and just generally enjoy themselves. The dancing itself is a convention of a music video as they probably had to do choreography to get the moves right and sync up with the music correctly. The editing in this video is also very important as there are many different camera shots featuring from wide, medium, close up and long shots. This is done to show all perspectives throughout the video and to show the message being brought by this video as we see people enjoying themselves in remembrance. There is a lot of African american representation in this video as in America black people are often the targeted victims of racial abuse and therefore this video includes a  lot of black representation in order to build up black people and show we are not weak and that we should get the same respect others races receive.
