I personally picked the music video, made me by Snootie Wild because it relates to me. I have shared similar experiences and the song has meaning to me through the lyrics.  This video is about how Snootie Wild had nothing and ended up making something out of nothing. Through out the video Snootie Wild is trying to deliver a message that if he made it through his struggle anybody can make through a struggle. The video's perspective is from Snootie Wild and in his video he's telling people about his struggle and how he became a successful rapper.  He uses symbolism, color, perspective, contrast and realism to get the message of the video to the audience. The underlying message of the video is that the amount money you make measures success, therefore people should not give up on a dream of a successful life.

In the beginning of the video Snootie Wild starts off working in a grocery store. It looks like he doesn't make much money because of the clothes he has on. From the start Snootie Wild was wearing his working clothes, they were dirty, and from looking at what Snootie Wild has on it looks like he doesn't have much. The clothes he has and the images of the grocery store were he works symbolize his struggle. This shows how he was unsuccessful at the beginning of his life. Another symbol that is shown at the end of the video is a chain he was wearing and expensive clothes including a new car that he bought through the video. So at the end of the video he was successful, but he had his work clothes back on to symbolize he would not forget where he came from.

The colors symbolize different things in the beginning of the video than they do at the end. The colors at the beginning of the video have gray clouds, black sky, and he's wearing dark clothes; blue jeans, and a dark apron, which represent the struggle of bad, evil, unsuccessful and sad things. These are the colors through the video that explain how Snootie Wild started from nothing and made something out of nothing. At the end of the video the colors brighten up, which means his life, is getting better. We see colors like green money and his expensive colorful clothes. These colors mean wealthy, strong, happy and confident. The colors at the end show Snootie Wild being successful.

The perspective of this video is that Snootie Wild is trying to deliver a message that you should be strong through your worst times. He struggled because of money problems and the people who were around him. At the beginning of the video he had on his work clothes which shows that he was working up to something, which means he did not have any money and therefore he is struggling. On the other hand Snootie Wild perspective is having money is being successful and wealthy. The images in the video show Snootie Wild driving an expensive car and gold chains. These things symbolize him being successful and showing that he made it.

The video shows a real story by real situations and he is able to deal with it through a process. He moves from broke to rich or unsuccessful to successful. Also he starts in a house with no power working to make money because he wants success. Through the video he slowly gets more money and is progressing. He ends up with money able to afford anything he wants which we see because he wears expensive clothes and gold chains at the end of the video. He presents himself as a successful man. When he did not have money the women were not talking to him but when he starts getting money they started liking him. This is what happens with some women in real life because the only thing some of them want is money and fame.

At the beginning of the video the contrast at the beginning it was very dark that you couldn't see his face, which means he is trying to hide his face because he is going through a struggle and Snootie Wild is unsuccessful. As the video goes on the contrast light start getting brighter which means that he is making it through his struggle and he becoming more successful. The contrast moves dole to bright which represents he is changing from a sad to happy stand point of view.

The video shadows show the two opposite lifestyles of Snootie Wild and that was him being broke and the other lifestyle was him being rich. It kept jumping back between the two lifestyles because it represents that he is not going to forget where he came from. He is torn between the two lifestyles because he is confused and he did not know what lifestyle to pick. Snootie Wild keep going back to his broke lifestyle and he thinks he should give back from where he came from because his neighborhood and his struggle is what made him the successful man his is today. He gave back by going back to his neighborhood and shooting a video and by Snootie Wild shooting that video brought money into his neighborhood.

The elements in the video show that life is not easy and you going to have to work if you want good things in life. The video also shows that when times get hard don't give up because you might be closer to success. The elements of symbol, perspective, contrast, color and realism help show how success defined by money and what kind of dreams you should chase so therefore you can live a good life.  Success and money is important because money and success are big things that should be apart of your life.  In our world that we live in today it's all about money, success and the fame. People want to be seen with money because that makes them appear to be successful.
