Audience: It is highly likely for the audience to this video to be above 15 years of age due to the use of drugs, violence and gore.
Narrative: This is is the first scene shot indoors. The nurse going through the long dark corridor tells the audience where the 'story' is set; in a hospital or a mental institute. This scene links to the lyrics "Walking down a horror corridor" implying that the video has a narrative of some sort.
Representation: The image shows a typical representation of a nurse. This is supported my the fact that she is pushing a hospital trolley and is wearing a symbolic costume; long White tunic, white hat and shoes. The image also shows a corridor with many doors which are open with light shining out from the left side of the corridor but are dark on the right side. However, this goes against the philosophy of left and right; good and evil.
Narrative: This scene gives more information about the main character which is Eminem himself. The shots of him on the CCTV monitors may suggest that he is 'wanted'. Although it's blurry, he can be seen holding a weapon in the background which may give away more about what role the character plays and why he is dangerous.
Representation: Judging from his costume and props used, he comes across as the villain or the rebel. This is also supported by the expressions shown on the monitored. One of the monitored shows a white eye, similar to a snake.Narrative: This scene identifies the humour within the video.
Representation: The affection towards the mannequin may be because of the fact that the mannequin cannot be murdered like other nurses or patients. Therefore dehumanising himself.
Representation: The bath full of blood could represent the murders committed by the character. It could also represent a ritual.
Narrative: This is one of the final shots in the video which confirms that the main character is actually a serial killer which is shown by the victim around him covered in blood. Watching the rest of the video makes it clear that the victims were slaughtered by the man standing in the middle.
