Analysis of a music video

  This is the music video to the song "brenda's got a baby" by the american rapper (who is also seen as one of the greatest if not the greatest rapper of all time by fans of rap and hip hop) the song is about many of the stuggles of living in an area rife with poverty and crime, this song is also based on true events. This music video is heavily dominated by narrative,it does show performance from the artist 2pac but it is intertwined into the narrative, this inspired us in the creation of our own music video and we decided to make a music video also heavily dominated by narrative. This song also has a serious political message which is similar to the message which is being conveyed in our song "Broken Silence". Our song broken scilence also refers to true event and so we thought it would be wise to use some of the techniques used in this music video. The lyrics in this song are directly portrayed visually which helps to add effect and power to the lyrics and the message conveyed. An example of some more similarities between our video and the video for "Brenda's got a baby" are we had a main protaganist which we were taken on a journey through their life with and both main protaganist  became victims to crime
