Bruno mars 24k magic representation.

Bruno mars 24k magic - 
1) In the video Bruno Mars is portrayed as a carefree wealthy man showing off his huge success to the many viewers he knows will watch the music video. He may have done this to show everyone that he is better than other people around the world. At the beginning of the video the camera is tracking towards a twin jet and valuable cars, so at the very beginning of the video bruno is already boasting his success to all viewers. The video represents the stereotypical view of hip-hop artists because bruno flash money, expensive cars, attractive women, extravagant outfits and even a very luxurious area such as hotels in las Vegas with marble walls and large luxury activities. There are also many mid-shots in the video, where Bruno flashes all his jewellery and expensive silk clothing. The mid-shots also take place either in front or inside  huge expensive places.
Bruno Mars - 24K Magic [Official Video]2)The women in the video are wearing barely any clothes in the video. The women only wear bikinis or dresses that show a lot of skin. This highlights that Bruno mars may not respect women enough to see them fully clothed - may only see them as attractive objects. A vast majority of the men and women are African American in the video, which may mean that Bruno Mars is making a statement, saying that African American people are as equal in wealth to white people, mainly to make a point. In the entire video Bruno only shows off his wealth and how expensive his lifestyle is. This is a stereotypical approach to music videos in the 21st century. Bruno uses close up shots of the women in bikinis to emphasis how much he doesn't care about other people opinions because he is surrounded by attractive women. He also does panning shots of all the women standing behind him and his friends. This may highlight that Bruno thinks that women are less important than men through how he has all the women standing behind him and his wealthy friends. There are also many full body shots of Bruno and his friends. Bruno could be doing the because he wants to show his expensive jewellery and clothing to every viewer of the video to show how wealthy and successful he is. In the middle of the video a tracking shot is added in of Bruno holding a class of champagne in a high-class casino. The champagne could represent luxury and the casino represents his wealth, like most of the video. Everyone is mostly dancing throughout the video which may again highlight that they are living fun, exciting lives because of their money and success because they are surrounded by a lot of women and are in a luxurious place. The whole video is shot during night time, lights are flashing all around bruno and the friends/actors. night time is stereotypically known as the 'going out' time of the day. Bruno may have had his whole videos made during night time to present his life as a party, because of how his life is so luxurious.
3)The main cover of the single is Bruno slumping back in a chair wearing silk clothing, high end jewellery and loafers. This is all to show every who even sees this cover that he is 'the man' and to show off his wealth (like the vast majority of the video). Also, from the fact that Bruno is sloaching back in his chair may highlight that he is a carefree individual that only cares about himself. The cover of the single is also from a long shot lens so that bruno can advertise himself to the world. At the beginning of the video a large white jet is presented, with fancy cars on the one side of it, mainly again to advertise his prosperity. Throughout the whole video Bruno just exhibits his accomplishments. The video obviously exhibits huge amounts of money to highlight Bruno's prosperity. Throughout the video, the camera is performing a high angle shot towards Bruno Mars. This may be because Bruno may feel more dominant than other people, hence the camera mostly positioned below him. This could be done because Bruno wants to portray that he is 'bigger' than everyone else.
