Eminem – Not Afraid
The location of the music video was shot in Newark,New
Jersey. The location goes from being on top of a ledge
into a dark place and then near the end of the video he
gets back towardsthe bright lights and this shows the
effect thathe’s tryingto escape the darkness.
The type of clothes he wears in the video showsthat he
is just wearing a casual jacket and jeans and this shows
that he’s not an important personbecause he’s not
wearing expensive clothes or suits.
Near the end of the song he startsflying towardthe light,
which showshe’s tryingto escape, and anythingis
possible and he is not afraid to face anything,which is
also the name of the song.
The colours also affect the video because of the way it
keeps changing from dark to light that showsno matter
how much you tryyou cant escape anything.
The genre of the video would be hip hop and rap as the
fast paced lyrics and music beats show clearly that this is
the genre of the music.
At the start of the song when he standson a ledge it
shows he is on top of the world but its not all blue sky’s it
shows grey skies, which suggests the darknessinside
him. During the end of the song whenhe looks in mirror
it doesn’t show himself it shows demons in mirror,which
may suggest the demons inside him are tryingto get out.
The music video is about his friend who got shot which
may suggest whyhe wantsto release his demons and the
light in skies showhis friend going to heaven. When he
startsflying this makes us think he feels free because
he’s trying escape his demons and his friend’sdeath.
The purposeof this music video is to entertainpeople
who are interestedin rap and hip hop which wouldbe
mainly teenagers and young adultsbetween the age or
12 and 22 yearsof age. The primaryaudience would be
people who are interestedin the artistof the song and
would want to hear all his songs. The secondary
audience would be people who are interestedin any rap
or hip hop.
