Andrew Goodwin Theory

This video follows the conventions that Andrew Goodwin claims in his theory. There is no traditional narrative structure in this video as there isn't really a story to follow we are more focused on the artist and her performance. The artist is the protagonist in this video throughout the whole video she is looking straight at the camera and she acts as both the narrator and the character. There is quite a bit of repetition in this video. We return to her on the stairs, on the balcony and underneath the stairs. Also we return the first location at the end of the music video. This video is disjuncture as there is no connection between the video and the song.

Editing: Edited to the beat, Jump Cuts, Obvious edits - Speeding up and Slowing down of time
Narrative: No particular narrative in this music video, Mainly performance (disjuncture)
Diegesis: The artists was moving to the music
Camerawork: Quite a few base tracks - On the Stairs, balcony, Alley, Many Close ups, Repetition

Laura Mulvey

This video goes against Mulvey's theory as she was not presented as an object of male desire. She was wearing clothes that covered her and her body parts were not the focus. Although she is dismembered in this video at the very beginning but that is the only time in  the whole video. We are not forced to see the video from a males perspective as Mulvey suggested as there aren't any other people int he video except for her.

Strengths and Weaknesses 
What I like about the video and a strength of the video is the way it is edited. it was edited really well and also the way it is edited mimics the song. a weakness of this video is that there is no narrative so we don't have anything to follow or something that might make it memorable.
