Drakes song Marvin's Room uses dim lighting of red/orange tones making it difficult to see what is actually going on, creating a misterious setting. In the video he is wearing a simple black outfit, drawing attentiona way from himself, yet the video is essentially about him and his lifestyle, promoting himself. However, the video doesnt relate much to the lyrics of the song. He is drinking in a bar and then at a party with many people, yet throughout the video it creates a dazed effect, but putting light shots of him over full focusesd ones and the camera seems to spin and see the scenery fast, making it seem as if he is lost and confused. Probably due to the girl which the video constantly crosses shots too. The video once again (like most R&B videos) uses ideas of voyeurism, fragmented shots of body parts such as her legs and also by her wearing pants and a top, looking casual but also like a sexual fantasy to Drake. The video is based in a city and frequently shows strobe like shots going back to the buildings/roads/lights making it seem like his lifestyle and location should be envied. In the video he looks distressed, and the scene where he is looking into the mirror creates empathy towards him, maybe making himself more liked as a person as well as an artist, by making himself seem vunerable and not overly confident and unapproachable.
