Im Not The Only One- Sam Smith





Narrative
The story starts with a couple that seem happy and normal however when the husband leaves for work you soon realise that not is all what it seems and he in fact cheating and his wife knows this or at least suspects this but acts like everything is normal when he's around and chooses not to confront him but when he leaves she lets out her true emotions by drinking setting things on fire and crying hysterically. Meanwhile her husband is at a bar cheating on her. Once he comes home she then acts once again like nothings wrong and kisses him when he gets home.

conventional/unconventional
There are both conventional and unconventional elements in this music video. The conventional theme include the cheating husband, which happens in quite a few music videos however they use an unconventional twist which is the fact that she knows but chooses to act normal when he's around and when he's gone she lets it all out, whereas in typical music videos the wife finds out and goes mad at the husband.

Visuals
I think that the setting is typical of this type of music video as to everyone else they are rich and happy but really they're not this shows that money can't buy happiness. There are also many close ups of the wife throughout the video to show the emotion in her eyes.

What works/what doesn't
I think that maybe at the end she should have revealed that she knew or followed him to the bar to make the video more dramatic however i do like the fact that when he comes home she acts like nothing wrong as its almost a little psychotic and unique.
