Eminem - The Real Slim Shady
http://youtu.be/eJO5HU_7_1w
Within the Eminem music video of 'The Real Slim Shady' there is a lot of bright colours which goes against the codes and conventions of a rap music video. I believe that he has done this to make his music videos original and unique. This shows that he wanted to stand out within the rap industry to make himself more of a star to the audience as this creates his down individual look. Within this screenshot from the music video you can see that he is in a waiting room at the beginning of the music video which goes against the codes and conventions of a rap music video as the colouring is usually dull.
In this screenshot of Eminem's music video you can see a photograph of Dr Dre from NWA, through the time of Eminem's video showing this he says that Dr Dre is dead. This is promoting the rap industry within his music video as NWA was a extremely successful rap band a few years ago and are still very well known within the music industry. The NWA image was promoted by a film which was released in 2015 called 'Straight Outta Compton' about the rap band and all the troubles which they faced along the way through the build up too the success and how the rap star life was for them individually and how they all reacted to the new opportunities which they had. I believe including Dr Dre within Eminem's music video was effective because it shows a different rap artist within the industry and it could represent the direction Eminem wanted to go in through his music career by being a successful rap artist.
In the screenshot below of the music video there is a machine within the frame which ordinary people are going into which is shown on the left of the image and then once they come out they are a copy of Eminem as their hair and costume is the same as Eminem's through the video. This abides by Goodwin's theory as he is the main focus within the music video as he is making copies of himself in the video to show his followers and his fans and that he believes he is going to be a large. successful rapper.
Within this screenshot you can see Eminem rapping in a pink coloured room full of men who look like the artist, I believe that this is effective as it creates a clear image of the artist which will leave a lasting impression on the audience and make the artist recognisable to the audience. Having this scene in a pink room goes against the conventions of a rap music video as the colour is usually dull and boring but this scene is different and has a lot of lighting. This is effective as this makes the location of this scene look like they are in an underground subway by the lights and the different pictures which are located around the walls and on the ceiling which creates a messy image for the artist.
In this music video screenshot from The Real Slim Shady, you can see him looking down into the camera which makes the artist look like he has power and it makes the audience feel as if he is talking over them which makes them feel intimidated within this scene. This is powerful as it represents an image of Eminem that he is in control.

Through analysing this music video I like the idea of having the artist looking down on the camera as it makes the artist look powerful and in control of the music video and the people around him. I would like to create something like this within my music video.
