In order to maximise the effectiveness of my project i wanted to take a look at some well known music videos that contained the same rough context as mine.
An immediate video that shot to mind was for the song 'Run Away Love' By Ludacris and Mary J Blige.
This video shows the effects of troubles at home, violence, drugs and drinking.

I chose to study this video as when i first saw the video, as well as listening to the song, it had huge impact upon me. In my opinion the video allows for the song to emphasise it's huge impact upon the audience.

Examples of other videos that i looked at are as follows:

Eminem - 'Stan'

Nine Inch Nails - 'Closer'

Nine Inch Nails: Closer (Censored) (1994) - Click here for the most popular videos

Each of these videos show at least one of the aspects i was looking for, by watching them i gained an idea of what was the best way to portray them in my video.
