Analysis: Eminem- When I'm Gone
This video is by Eminem called, When Im Gone, this video doesn't not face the usual conventions of a rap video. it doesn't portray a gangster, money, power and rich life, instead is portrays a deeper message to hard struggle brought to artists and some could be in this position, with clever use of editing, lighting and face expressions, there is a certain message of a gloomy mood and a sad message.
There is a mix though as some parts are nto as clear as others, such as Eminem keeping the stadards away from the conventional rap image, but in his performance shtos he is wearing a baggy costume. Also the mix is the part of him being verry emotional thorughout, giving off the sense that he has had this happen to him, relating to family, with emotions and gestures.
This video is mainly about how in a way his ego came betwee him and his family almost seperated them, but with the help of the little girl and a bit of sense that is avoided. The video does have some important performance shots but, the key in this video is the narrative which in this case is the real situation and is explained through this video.
There is a great link between the lyrics and the visual, with all that is being said is shown on the video. The video is a great example of the struggles and the downsides to becoming an artist or even jsut famous, in this video specifically capturing what life used to be like and what it is now. The colour scheme throughout is pretty dull, with mostly black and grey visuals and not much lighitng used.
The quick and effective cut in and out in the video worked very well, as it is tiem with teh beat at some mpoint when it needs to be jumpy to fit the lyrics.
