I chose to use both of these as staple items of mise-en-scene as they both link in well with the genre of hip hop.
denim jacket,
denim jackets are commonly associated with hip hop and where usually items that where seen tied around the waist of many of the young women (on occasion men) , this has now been a trend that has reoccurred and emerged once again, displayed on many hip hop celebrity features such as kanye west and A$AP Rocky
gold chains have been a focus point within the Hip Hop community since the early 80s, featuring on artists such as Slick Rick and RUN DMC, It was an important decision for me to include this form of mise-en-scene, so its easily identifiable for the audience to associate it with hip hop. the placement of the gold chain on my artists head suggest she is an angelic figure almost a saint for females within the industry, contradicting with the norms of female interpretation within Hip Hop.
