Analysis
mise-en-scene:
Set in a big wealthy house with private gates, a huge solid wooden door, a pool, a piano, multiple posh looking stair cases, a personal DJ and drunk people passed out on the floor. The people clearly have a lot of money as they are in fancy dress and expensive clothing, and are playing poker with large amounts of money, surrounded by half naked girls which connotes they don't care about wasting money.
When they are all partying in the night, the house looks all stuffy as they have been partying non-stop for days, with no fresh air, just a party atmosphere. They also party in the day which shows they don't have a break, which reflects that celebrities never have a break from the lime light.
