Music video analysis

I chose to analyze the video “I’m not afraid” by Eminem, his song talks about his struggles with drugs and everything in life and how he confronting his problems and he is trying to change himself for the better, and how everyone can leave that type of life and how everyone has a chance to live the life they want.

The video that goes along during the words give a visual sense of what he is saying, at the beginning he is standing where he is now, and talks about how he had to go through the bad in order to get to where he is now. He also talks to the people who still live in the bad, he says you can get out; you just have to let him help you.

During the beginning he talks about how he will get out and even for the people that don’t believe in him he will show them wrong and he doesn’t care what he things, the video at this time goes between two scenes. One he is on top of the building where he is now, the other is in a dark basement, where he was. Setting up a visual of when he referees to the past and the future.

Towards the middle it shows him walking through the city and then goes into a bunch of mirrors, as this is happening he starts to talk about how he still trying to figure things out, how he use to think he had is life where he wanted it, but he eventually learns that he is actually still trapped in his life and that he needs to break free, this is shown in the video when he runs through the mirror and breaks down the wall. He says he can’t keep living his life how he did, he has to get out he stands at the edge of the city, but he says he has to move on he has to get his life on the right track. So he jumped so he could come back a better person, after he comes back he end up on the same ledge that he was at the beginning showing that he ahs done the process to get to where he is.
