Research Exercise

To demonstrate skills in research we have been asked to find a video similar to Pink - Fu**kin' Perfect and explain the similarities. Firstly, here is Pink's video


I believe that Eminem - Not Afraid is of great similarity to this. Here it is


The similarities are in the genre and more interestingly the narrative. Pink's video is all about her making a change in her life that takes her away from the brink of suicide. In the same way Eminem's video is about him, to quote from the lyrics, "tryin' to put my life back together right now". Looking at genre, both are hybrid videos, featuring elements of both narrative and performance.
