In this opening scene of Hadouken's music video M.A.D a person is dressed in a mouse costume. This is very comical as you would not see this in everyday life and that in real life mice are small and are not the same size as humans. Furthermore the character has the characteristics of a hoodlum or troublemaker as he is wearing bling, walking with a swagger, and creating disrupt by banging a stick against buildings.
In this shot the mouse is shown grinding and chatting up two females on the side of the street. This portrays him as a dirty male as he just wants the girls for sexual reasons. Furthermore he is rejected for maybe dressing like a mouse.
This is my favourite shot in the entire music video due to the fact that the shopkeeper refuses to sell the mouse alcohol as he is comically underage. So the mouse beats up the shopkeeper. Furthermore the shot is great because the facial expression on the mouse costume has now been changed to an angry look.
In this shot a blur effect is used to give the impression that the mouse has drunk too much and is now experiencing blurred vision. Also the facial expression on the costume has again changed as he is pouring away the drink as he may feel anxiety or even ill.
This final upward shot is where the mouse gets attacked by another person in a cat costume. This is a typical enemy for a mouse and i comically represented showing that the mouse is not the only giant animal around here. Finally i believe that the message summed up here is that it is a dog eat dog world, meaning that if you go around misbehaving, someone is going to misbehave towards you.
