My favourite music videos, no. 1

Guilty Conscience ft Dr Dre

Eminem

 The story of the video is split into three main scenarios in which a character faces a moral dilemma. In the midst of making a decision, the two artists (Dr. Dre and Eminem) proceed to argue about whether the protagonist should make a morally good, or morally bad decision. Eminem is the devil, Dr Dre is the angel. The scenarios are then narrated by Mark Avery.

The camera uses a certain effect which causes the protagonists to be frozen in time, whilst the artists argue. As the artists argue, the camera proceeds to use a 360 motion control (where the camera proceeds to encircle a middle point). Shots are also shown of some of the scenarios mentioned by the artists.

The background props in the shots are hard to focus on as they are constantly moving relative to the artists. This makes it so the focus is on the person in the middle and on the performers. 

The performers' costumes always depict them as peers of the protagonists, with the exception of the narrator, Mark Avery who is more dressed up and clearly stands out as the narrator.

This video stands out to me in particular as it's not just a rapper singing to the camera, but there is an interesting story/group of stories involved.
