Image Motif
The background is black and white, which is used to create a narrative affect. In the Soulja Boy video, this affect is used to show a flashback of him recording music from a basic headphone and mic set up.
In my video, I have tried to portray a similar narrative. The artist has a flashback of when he was recording the song in the past. The flashbacks are represented by the black and white effect. He is also recording on headphones and a mic similar to Soulja Boy.
