Textual Analysis part 2

Not Afraid by Eminem



This video is a performance based narrative but some of the sequences on screen dont correspond to the music or lyrics of the song. As well as this, for rap music both the song and video dont give the usual feeling of a stereotypical rap music video. This video is also more complex than the previous two; this one tells a story which is personal to the artist and therefore holds more feeling and connotations of winning against something and feeling good about yourself. The fact that this video does not use any dissolve edits shows that this video is to be taken as a more serious video, with no connotations of love or romance.

My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion



This music video is narrative based like the first. This too was a song used as the films theme. It has integrated scenes or shots of the film and again concentrates the film into the video. Throughout the video there are connotations of love and loss through the use of the music, the lyrics and the images seen in the video.
