Music Video Analysis

2. Eminem - No Love ft. Lil Wayne
Opening powerful image of a child with a black eye, this is a close up shot to
emphasise the pain; this instantly suggests that he is being bullied in some way,
whether it be his family or bullying at school.
Flashbacks are shown to give the audience an insight into how the black eye came
across. The pungent image of the three boys within the opening sequence show
the extent of the bullying.
The bullying continues as the lyrics read ‘No more’ showing the boys pain and how
he is feeling at this current time.
1:24 in to the video, the boy stands up to his bully’s and doesn’t back down, he gets
barged but deals with it and doesn’t run, showing he is growing as a person and
it doesn’t affect him any more.
The lyrics are corresponding to the video as the lyrics say ‘Do not knock me down’,
which is a contrast as he gets knocked down (1:55). The camera shot at this point
is aimed directly to the boy with his bully’s higher than him to show status and
power.
The boy walks around with his hood up to emphasise that he fears the bully’s and
doesn’t want to be seen.

3. Eminem - No Love ft. Lil Wayne
The boy has earphones in whilst Eminem is rapping, this may show
that he is listening to the long that we are listening along to.
In the background to where Eminem is rapping, there is an image of
chains to show that the boy is chained up and cannot escape from
his current situation.
Once the boy stands up for himself and punches one of the bully’s,
we see a sequence of flash backs to portray the effect of how he is
trying to forget the old and continue with his life.
The last shot is a medium shot of the boy walking away with his head
held high showing he has put the bullying behind him and stood
up for himself.

4. Lil Wayne - Prom Queen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTurfn7vvCk&ob=av3e
The opening lyrics correspond to the video as he mentions the
girl he fancies and shows him looking at her across the
classroom. This agrees with Goodwin’s theory.
Lil Wayne is seen looking all scruffy and on his own at the prom
as he is bullied just as the boy in the No Love video is.
He talks about how she ‘laughed and walked away’ and now
she should regret her decision to bully Lil Wayne as he turns
into a superstar.
The video agrees with Vernallis’ theory as it is a typical
Hollywood style continuity. The video is correspondent to
the lyrics as well as following Vernallis’ style.

5. Tinie Tempah - Written in the Stars ft. Eric Turner
In the opening of the video, it starts with Tinie Tempah and Turner
doing there own style to show a bit about them. IT then shows
the little boy sitting outside of his flat and then he transforms into
Tinie Tempah suggesting that this was him when he was younger.
The mum is then shown taking a man into her flat and throwing her
son outside again as she is a prostitute. The boy sits down and
puts his head-phones on like this is his normal routine. The lyrics
say ‘I want my family back’ as the boy is kicked out; the lyrics
correspond with the video which agrees with Vernallis’ theory.
As the man finishes with the boys mum, he taps him on the head as
he feels sorry for him and the little boy throws something at him
in anger at his mums job.

6. Tinie Tempah - Written in the Stars ft. Eric Turner
When the boy is in the basket ball court, sitting there writing with his
head-phones on, (trying to hide from the real world.) a boy comes
up to him and throws all his work on the floor; this shows that he
gets bullied just as they do in Prom Queen and No Love. The lyrics
say ‘Every one’s the kid that no one cares about’ just as he gets
bullied (agreeing with Vernallis’ Hollywood style theory).
Towards the end of the video, the boy comes out of his shell and
dances on the roof to show his passion for music and this is his
way to express himself.
It finishes with the boy standing there with his arms in the air to
show that he will make a name for himself just as Tinie Tempah
has.
