Amy Winehouse -Back To Black

The mis-en-scene was very typical of the soul genre as the singer opted for a smart and sophisticated dress and the men were wearing suits,as the narrative followed a funeral,which is further emphasised with the low key lighting adding a melancholy mood to the music video.The locations consist of a living room,bedroom and church graveyard which add to the sombre atmosphere.

In terms of narrative it was focused on the theme of love and heartbreak and  a woman wrestling with herself which is similar to other songs within this genre as it focuses on realistic and meaningful experiences.

The editing is again very distinct to the genre as the monochrome shots throughout the entire video is a convention associated with the soul category alongside the slow paced shot's resulting in a more dramatic and exaggerated narrative.Also I noticed that the shots were edited to the beat which helped the sequence of shots flow together cohesively.

The cinematography involved close-up shots in order to capture her expressions and high angled shots in order to capture how isolated the singer felt.
Furthermore I noticed the tilt shot on Amy,which conform's to Laura Mulvey's idea's on the male gaze and is an exemplar of how the female singer is hyper-sexualised at the expense of male desires.
