  • non-glamourous

 

Performances

  • enjoying the music
  • Amy seems happier without Blake, negative portrayal of Blake

  • ‘All my strength comes from my nan’

 

Editing:

  • fake lens flare when she is singing
  • slow-mo of Nan (w/ music, dame as when Amy’s dead body is carried out)
  • animated lyrics

 

Sound:

  • diegetic singing in the middle of non-diegetic music/singing, then diegetic again

  • V/O about nan paired with a visual
  • V/O against Amy being a procrastinator despite what the media says
  • nan is sick

 

Moore:
