The document summarizes and compares two music videos: Eminem's "Stan" and Ed Sheeran's "Galway Girl". For "Stan", the narrative video directly matches the song's lyrics and tells the story of the character Stan to provide an outlet for Eminem's own struggles with drugs and alcohol. It includes three characters from the lyrics so the audience can see who and what Eminem is rapping about. For "Galway Girl", the video is shot from Ed Sheeran's point of view and tells the story of him meeting a girl on a night out through descriptive lyrics matched with corresponding actions on screen. It also includes other characters and shows Ed Sheeran's recognizable ginger hair

1. Assignment 3
Narrative Music Video

2. Eminem- Stan
Throughout the narrative video
Eminem is rapping as if he was
this character ‘Stan’, the action
on screen co insides directly
with the lyrics of his song
Eminem would have chosen
to a narrative video because
he himself was going through
a hard time of drugs and
drinking so writing lyrics
about someone else going
through the problem might of
giving him an outlet to voice
his problems. This needed to
be a narrative music videpo
therefore because to show
the audience about how
tough times can be and to
show what the irrational
behaviour to these actions are
This music video includes three
deffierent characters, all
included in the lyrics. It means
we as the audience don’t have
to imagine what eminem is
rapping about we can see who
and what they look like
Also clearly shows of Eminem’s USP at this
point as he is reading Stan’s letters it shows of
his worldwide known short blonde hair

3. Ed Sheeran- GalwayGirl
This music video is shot
all in first person, in the
artists point of view
It tells a story of how he
went on a night out and
met a girk and they had
a little ‘adventure’.
The lyrics match
the action on
screen as it is a
very descriptive
song so a lot of
things happen that
we get to see in
Ed’s pov
The music video includes
lots of different characters
who make the story come
together
Also shows of his
USP as he is known
worldwide for his
ginger hair and his
sleeve tatoos
