Almost all the film footage was used in the video except for a scene where 50 Cent raps in a glass box. The video is set in a fictional hip hop boot camp known as the Shady/Aftermath Artist Development Center. It begins with a black Hummer driving to the facility at an unknown location. Video clips from Eminem's single "Without Me" are seen playing in the entrance on flat screen TVs. We see Eminem and Dr. Dre looking down at the lab from a lab balcony with windows. 50 Cent is introduced by hanging upside down from the roof of a gym. The video ends with the camera zooming out of the club to reveal a two-way mirror with Eminem and Dr. Dre in white lab uniforms, observing 50 Cent and taking notes.
- DirectorPaul HunterStarsBritney SpearsMadonnaThe music video for "Me Against the Music" was filmed over three days in October 2003, at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City, New York. It was directed by Paul Hunter, who revealed that the concept was setting Spears and Madonna apart, hence Spears wore a black outfit whereas Madonna sported a white suit. The video starts with Britney parking the Mazda vehicle and going into a New York nightclub. She enters a wooden room populated with 'cool kids' flaunting pink and purple hair while taking whiffs from an oxygen tank. Madonna, who is in a room filled with men smoking cigars, observes her from television monitors throughout the club. Spears appears in Madonna's room and throws her against the wall, and Madonna vanishes just as they are about to kiss. The video ends as Madonna's laugh is heard in the background.

- DirectorSophie MullerStarsKelsey LewisPinkIn the video for "Family Portrait" Pink plays a young girl who still has not moved away from the problems associated with the divorce of her parents. This is reflected in the little girl who depicts Pink as a child, played by Kelsey Lewis. During the clip, little Pink tries to draw attention to her childhood in many ways: she makes breakfast from oatmeal as she loved in her childhood, and interferes with her on therapy sessions. Pink at first does not listen to anything small, before moving to the song. After that, Pink agrees with the conditions of her childhood, as this is reflected in the fact that she joins the family in the TV.
