As part of the research before creating the media it is important to analyse other music videos of different genres.
The video for Micheal Jackson Thriller is not narrated as such by the lyrics but more by the theme. The video could be described as a short film as it is over 13 minutes long and has acting before and after the song. The video has a spoof horror genre and can slightly show the comedy behind irrational fears. The video is aimed at a wide audience excluding young children though as it may be too scary for them. The representation of gender is stereotypical throughout as it is the female how has the scary encounters and screaming whereas the male at the beginning laughs them off and appears protective.

The music video for The Spice Girls 'Wannabe' Is quite a simple video. It mainly consists of the 5 girls just running around a big building. It is aimed at teenage girls you can tell this because they are dressed in clothes that would be fashionable in that era. Also they are running around laughing and playing which shows us a laid back attitude. This video represents a fun atmosphere and makes people want to watch the video.

The Music Video for Eminem ft. DiDo - Stan, has a clear narrative throughout the rap song. The Video is very serious and is about an obsessive fan. The tone of the video is very tense throughout as the audience are waiting for something to cause the character Stan to snap and this eery and tense atmosphere is portrayed in details such as the low key lighting. The ending of the video involves Stan killing himself and his pregnant girlfriend. This makes the video and song very emotional for the audience and has the desired effect of drawing them in as they want to see how the story unfolds. This represents the serious and meaningful nature of the lyrics and would not be aimed at a young audience, possibly 17-18+.

The song's theme and lyrics are , telling the tale of a soldier whose body is severely damaged by a landmine.. It has a serious and clear narrative within the song. Like Eminems 'Stan' it gives quite an emotional feel to the audience. It again it makes them want to watch to see how the story unfolds. And again like 'Stan' this would not be aimed at a younger audience. The video represents a sense of anger as the story is shown of how the boy id trapped in his own body.
