I Love The Way You Lie- Eminem ft Rihanna

 Music videos generally always tend to feature the artist or band, it is common and expected to see an appearance of the artist/band in their own video and this is a way of promoting the song and themselves. This convention is used in this music video showing both Eminem and Rihanna.

The use of lip syncing is used when a crucial aspect of the video's narrative is shown in the case below shown below she is leaving him "Wait where you going?" "I'm leaving you" "No you ain't".

The use of narrative is effective as it justifies the lyrics and portrays the song in the viewpoint wanted by the artist in effect reinforcing the genre. The narrative has been used to explore the title of the song 'I love the way you lie', and shows a relationship between Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan and the effects which lieing has on them. 

The use of celebrities draws the attention of a wider spread audience expanding them from just a specific audience. In this video the use of Megan Fox a current actress and the feature of Dominic Monaghan bring a sense of quality to music video and makes the portrayal of narrative cinematic.

The use of colour a common feature of music videos is effective as it reinforces the mood of the music video. Rihanna's hair is the colour red showing the danger in the narrative.

The use of props used in the music videos can be used to support the lyrics and signify something  related to the artist/band such as Jay-z uses the hand sign of a triangle. The use of fire is used to show the  danger of love and how it can impact you and your relationship.
