The Weeknd - Pretty:
Costume: Abel from the video wears casual, dark, obnubilated attire which represents his obnubilated character as if he is obnubilating something and doesnt want to be descried. He opts to wear the outfit in order to engender a ricochet effect to the audience in order to highlight his dark RNB flow of music. Other characters such as the limo driver is highlighted in the video as looking scruffy to show that his status is much lower than Abel. The woman is almost half the time naked, again reflecting Abels lyrics and the women in the video is only seen as a sexual object.
Setting: From the video there is multiple setting changes from the airport to the downtown streets, and ending with a house. To represent Abels character and that he is always moving around because of his busy lifestyle. However we do not see the lighting change in any of the settings this dark, midnight lighting may suggest to the audience to reflect back on his dark RNB music.
Props: From the music video we see a heavy dark metalic gun used to kill, this can also be highlighted to show Abels violent past, making the audience aware.
