30 second video analysis




In the first shot of the G.O.M.D. music video there was visibly a high-end house, which could lead to many different circumstances.


When the shit continues around the corner of the room it focuses on the main singer J.Cole looking out of the window, but it is not yet known as to what he is currently looking at.

 

In the next shot it becomes clear that the video is set in older times, because of the clothing and the baronet gun one of the men is holding. At this point it became clear to me that these people could possibly the owners of the house, especially because of the character in the posh white shirt.


This shot makes it perfectly clear to me that they are on a plantation because of the African American slaves who are working hard to avoid punishment.


In this shot the enforcers are looking over the slaves to make sure everyone is working hard and sometimes to stop runaways.


It is a similar scenario in this shot, but instead it shows the workers placing fertilizer in the fields for crop growth, and I can perceive the people looking frightened and nervous.


This shot is just a zoomed in version of the previous shot.


In the final 30 second shot it shows one of the enforcers getting angry with one of the slaves and preparing to unleash some tactile punishment.
