Having done some research on real-life examples that incorporate a narrative that is focused on domestic violence. Some of the videos that I found were..
Hozier- Cherry Wine
The mis-en-scene consisted of low-key lighting which aided in creating a dark and sombre atmosphere,also it could be interpreted as a method of foreshadowing.In addition to this the props involved a mirror,which often is symbolic of self-knowledge and reflection.
In terms of editing,I found the slow pace of the shots very effective as they exaggerate the narrative and as an audience make you continue watching.
The cinematography involved many close-up-shots of the female's hands and face as well as the inclusion of depth-of-field as a method to make the focus on the girl,particularly at 3.36 when she removes her make-up.
Atmosphere-The Last to Say
The editing had a very big impact on the message of the song as the actors faded as they grew up which juxtaposed with the consistent mis-en-scene of the kitchen to illustrate that the abuse repeats itself in a cycle.
Likewise the music video consists of only one type of shot,which is a long shot as we see everything in the frame and feel a sense of sympathy.
The artist is present within each shot and is never acknowledged which is similar to music video.
The lighting transitions from subtle low-key lighting to extreme low-key lighting as the song continues again illustrating the darkness and melancholy narrative.
