Not Afraid- Eminem

This video by Eminem is based around the story of how he gave up taking drugs and moved on. He expresses his feelings and anger towards his past and how he is happy to have moved on.

He says sorry to his fans for how he was. "And to the fans, i'll never let you down again, i'm back"

"Relax, I ain't goin' back to that now". This connotes the fact Eminem knows how his fans feel and how he isn't going back to how he was as it isn't what he or his fans want.

U2 at Glastonbury Analysis

After watching the video of U2 performing at Glastonbury in 2011 it is clear the camera work plays a big part in making the performance what it is. From the establishing shot to the last shot used, the camera team use a wide variety of shots to enable the audience at home to feel that they are at the festival. The low angle shots used make the band members look more powerful. The quick cuts also add to the festival atmosphere and also make the band members looks more important and powerful as well as getting shots of the various viewpoints at the festival. 

There are a lot of crowd shots throughout the video. This makes the audience at home feel like they are actually at the festival and allows them to put themselves into the shoes of the people shown in the crowd. As well as this there is a lot of obstructed shots used throughout. This also gives the audience at home the sense of feeling like they were at the festival with the use of these point of view shots. A lot of the cuts and shots used are also in time with the music we hear which makes the performance and video flow nicely.

Lastly, the final shot used is the same shot as the establishing shot used at the beginning of the video. We see the camera pan out and then go to the helicopter high angle shot and we can see the stage and the crowd as well as the surrounding environment. This is a very clever way of ending the video because it allows the people at home to relate to the performance as a whole.
