RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VISUALS + LYRICS: 
there is no real relationship between the lyrics and the visuals. The song is a very dark song that is then emphasized by the dark black and white lighting. Then again by the cockroach type bug on his hand, the way he st airs into it demonically.

GENRE CHARACTERISTICS: 

Tyler The Creator and his colleagues in OFGWKTA are very unique and have a very unique style, it is rap however, a very unique type of rap. 

Never the less, like rap the artist is in the video through most of it, lip synching and other things. With rap, most artists who do a music video appear in it themselves, its like an un-written rule, as i find it hard to think of a rap video that doesn't.

Tyler the creators odd future brand

PERFORMANCE, NARRATIVE AND/OR CONCEPT?:

This video is a concept video, it is probably the most unique video i have ever watched, there is nothing out there like it. Tyler the creator and his group have made a brand name for themself. This is from having a comic and different type of style.

PERFORMANCE STYLE: 

The performance style is as concept as you could get. It is completely random and strange. The artist eats a cockroach, starts being sick and then hangs himself at the end. There is very little performance involved just clever and individual shots. A demonic performance enhanced by the close ups of him with his eyes fully black.

STAR TREATMENT

Again like rap songs, The artist is the soul focus, which again and again i see in each rap video i analyse. Again the artist lip synching throughout most of the song. 

PACE + ANY VARIATION OF PACE: 

the pace changes at the point when Tyler eats the bug. the beat then goes along with him being sick. The normal beat the carries on when he stops being sick

SHOT VARIETY + NO. OF SETUPS: 

There is only one setup throughout the whole video, it is just one long take! done very cleverly and i think is entertaining even though it is one big take.

                                                                                                                                                      

LOCATION/S + MISE-EN-SCENE: 

there is only one location in this video, however a few props are used. For example the cockroach, a live animal in a music video isn't used very often as they are very unpredictable especially bugs. Another part of the mise en scene used were the stool and rope to represent the artist committing suicide.

DIRECTOR STYLE:

The director style is very much unique, Wolf Haley does most of the video for odd future. they are all the same in one way, all completely individual. 

Like in this video, in the music video 'she' Wolf Haley goes with the demonic film as again he acts very creepy and has black contact lenses to represent a demonic creature. All of wolf Haleys videos like the songs are completely different each time they make them
