The video is very unconventional as the video has no reference to the lyrics. The video is limited on the use of camera shots,  the performance is very basic and unconventional. There is poor use of lighting and the camera shots have no real varation.

From the pictures we can see a very basic use of camera shots, a long shot throughout to show whats in the picture, the lighting is also very poor as the bottom image is fairly dark and doesn't light the performace which needs ro be emphasies

Eminem - Without Me -

The video has strong references to comic books through various effects used throughout the video. Has strong use of intertextuality such as Elvis Presley, superhereos and chat show.

Fish eye lense used, camera shots tend to be either low angle or high during direct more of adress.
