8) Do you think this video will be played before 9pm?

9) Does he go against or follow stereotypes of females and males?

Task 3

Andrew Goodwin theory relates to our video as Eminem uses specific conventions of comedy which he is known to use in the majority of his videos, which the audience will understand and can easily relate to as they will recognize who the celebrities are being portrayed either in a good way or bad way. Eminem uses his own conventions as he carries on with using different celebrities but carrying on as a flow of different series that can relate to the era. This video will fall under comedy category. The lyrics do link in with the visuals, for example when he mentions Kim Kardashian, he highlights her assets which got her famous which his audience will already know her background story and could find this funny as his exaggerated her body. There is a link between the speed of the music and editing, as the chorus is a slower paste and shows him dancing about in each shot, as he begins rapping the shots become faster and he has more dramatic actions. This video features intertextual references as it includes a variety of different media basing it on celebrities who have an impact in 2009 which their career pathways.

Task 2

entertainment is shown in this music video through many ways but i think the main way that it is shown is comedy with many many references to different films/programs/celebs:

dukes of hazard, Jessica Simpson

American TV show, rock of love

guitar hero

star trek, spok

Kim kardashian

Lindsay lohan, Sam

transformers the movie

Ellen, American chat show

the seal of the state of Alaska

britney speares

Vegas

psycho, jessica alba

Elvis presley

Amy winehouse in jail

planet woman

the target audience of this music video i think is teenagers , whom young male teenagers

working with the uses and gratifications theory i think there it only really two points the of this theory that fit in with this video and they are, entertainment this is shown through the comedy part of the video. the other point is escapism this is shown through the video building a comedy world that the audience can escape to.

Lyrics to We Made You

Guess Who

Did you Miss me?

Jessica Simpson sing the chorus

Dina Rea ? (Eminem)
(CHORUS)
When you walked through the door
It was clear to me (clear to me)
You?re the one they adore, who they came to see (who they came to see)
You?re a ? rock star (baby)
Everybody wants you (everybody wants you)
Player? Who could really blame you (who could really blame you)
We're the ones who made you

(VERSE ONE)
Back by popular demand
Now pop a little Zantac or ant'-acid if you can
You're ready to tackle any task that is at hand
How does it feel, is it fantastic, is it grand?
Well look at all the massive masses in the stands
Shady man? no don?t massacre the fans
Damn, I think Kim Kardashian's a man
She stomped him just cause he asked to put his hands
On her massive Gluteus maximus again
Squeeze it, then Squish it, then pass it to her friend
Can he come back as nasty as he can
Yes he can, can, don?t ask me this again
He does not mean to lesbian offend
But Lindsay please come back to seeing men
Samantha?s a 2, You?re practically a 10
I know you want me girl,
In fact I see your grin
(Now come in girl)

(CHORUS)
When you walked through the door
It was clear to me (clear to me)
You?re the one they adore, who they came to see (who they came to see)
You?re a ? rock star (baby)
Everybody wants you (everybody wants you)
Player? Who could really blame you (who could really blame you)
We're the ones who made you

(VERSE TWO)
The enforcer, looking for more women to torture
Walk up to the cutest girl and Charlie Horse her
Sorry Portia, but what?s Ellen DeGeneres
Have that I don't, are you telling me tenderness?
Well I can be as gentle and as smooth as a gentleman
Give me my ventolin inhaler and 2 Xenadrine
And I'll invite Sarah Palin out to dinner then
Nail her, 'Baby say hello to my little friend'
Brit f?rget K-Fed let?s cut off the middle man
Forget him or your gonna end up in the hospital again
And this time it won?t be for the Ritalin binge
Forget them other men, girl pay them little atten-tion
A little did I mention, that Jennifer's in-
Love with me John Mayer so sit on the bench
Man I swear them other guys you give ?em an inch
They take a mile, they got style, but it isn't Slim


(CHORUS)
When you walked through the door
It was clear to me (clear to me)
You?re the one they adore, who they came to see (who they came to see)
You?re a ? rock star (baby)
Everybody wants you (everybody wants you)
Player? Who could really blame you (who could really blame you)
We're the ones who made you

(VERSE THREE)
And that?s why? my love
You'll never live without,
I know you want me girl cause I can see you checking me out
And baby, you know, you know you want me too
Don?t try to deny it baby, I?m the only one for you

Damn girl I?m beginning to sprout an Alfalfa
Why should I wash my filthy mouth out
You think that?s bad you should hear the rest of my album
Never has there been such finesse and nostalgia
Man Cash, I don?t mean to mess up your gal but
Jessica Alba put a breast in my mouth(brrp)
Wowzers, I just made a mess of my trousers
And they wonder why I keep dressing like Elvis
Lord help us he's back in his pink Alf shirt
Looking like someone shrinked his outfit
I think he?s about to flip
Jessica rest assure, Superman?s here to rescue ya
Can you blame me?
You?re my Amy, I?m your Blake
Matter fact make me a birthday cake
With a saw blade in it to make my jail break
Baby, I think you just met your soul mate
(Now break it down girl)

(CHORUS)
When you walked through the door
It was clear to me (clear to me)
You?re the one they adore, who they came to see (who they came to see)
You?re a ? rock star (baby)
Everybody wants you (everybody wants you)
Player? Who could really blame you (who could really blame you)
We're the ones who made you

So baby, baby
Get down, down, down

Baby, get down, down down
Baby, get down, down down
Baby, get down, get down

Baby, get down, down down
Baby, get down, down down
Baby, get down, down down
Baby, get down, get down

Oh Amy, Rehab never looked so good,
I can't wait, I?m going back!! HAHA Whooo!

Dr. Dre, 2020, Yeah
