Comparison between the song video beautiful girl Sean Kingston and Eminem when i'm gone, Beautiful girl is the debut reggae single first released back in 2007 when Sean was only 17 years of age ,the song is about a boy that feels suicidal over not been able to be with a beautiful girl.this song has been removed from various radio playlists ,this song only made it to number 15 in the UK charts.

The lighting on the music video is very good its bright and illuminates the singer and everyone in  the music video Sean is a very happy singer always smiling through out the video although in the song Sean talks a lot of being suicidal but yet seems so happy whilst singing the whole setting has been set out well with the dancing in the cafe i find Sean Kingston an emotional yet joyful singer.

The angle shots were very good getting the feel of the song from all angles the close up shots and the camera shots from different places the video itself gives of such a happy vibe an overall well thought out video with lots going on but not to much to bore you.

Eminem wrote  the first half of the song when i'm gone whilst in rehab then the second half when he came out,this was done right before Eminem became sober the song describes what he is going through with his struggles with his addiction and recovery.

The music video was recorded in 2007 but released in 2009 the video is quite a depressing video  the lightning is very dark and dull but i suppose it goes with the song the video gets the point across when you listen to it it sort off draws you into the video almost like your there with him.

The camera angles are good it shoots the video fantastic as though you were in the room with him, the outfits in the video are quite scruffy looking sort of blends in with the vibe of the song Eminem always gets his point across Eminem videos are always serious videos which always tell a story and always manages to get his feeling across in the way he produces his videos he uses people to tell his story in his video.
