Kanye's scene known as the "dark fantasy" is self-explanatory. It's dark, and he is running from something. Most likely the explosions, and blasts. The scene switches to a car being driven with explosions of orange bursts. Is this supposed to mean some kind of high standing? Kanye is seen rescuing an alien female who has plenty of feathers. This gives off the idea that women are like "birds". It would make sense, after all we use the term "chick" to refer to a female.  The scene is at the beginning to add a sense of curiosity. What is the woman? Is she human? What relationship will she have with Kanye? All the questions will begin to circulate. Allowing the audience to gain an interest. Vivid colors are apparent to draw the audience in, humans after all are attracted to "things" that are eye catching. In a way this may, cause the audience to *NOT* pause the video.

  1. This is really thoughtful. Here are the points that stuck out for me:

    1. high standing - what do you mean by this? is this a rhetorical question?
    2. female as "bird" and "chick" - there's a lot of scholarship on this type of word play, I'm personally interested in hearing further from you about this!
    3. human attracting - not only our attraction to visuals, but also to curiosity. We seem to be really attracted to both color and spark, but we are also attracted what we do not know.
