song: outside
genre: 80/90's pop
visual style/ mise-en-scene-
the mise-en-scene is set in the setting of a public toilet at the very start of the vide o s it portrays the realism of the video as this was what happened in real life, when Michael got arrested. The use of police uniform worn by the artist is a comical element which contrasts the serious message behind the video and is his own personal way of mocking the police department and getting some sort of revenge. After the first initial shot with the couple in the public toilet there is a quick shift in scene where he is about to kiss the woman and it is edited so there is instead an extreme close up of a police officer a quick zoom out to a police police badge with siren sound effect being played over the top to symbolise the end of the first part of the story. The use of a voice over and a scream when the face of the police woman is close up is blue to connote danger and that he has been caught. At certain times in the video there is non diagetic sound used playing news clips from the time of when he was arrested to remind the audience that this event actually happened. At the end of the video there is a close up shy of 'Jesus saves' with the writing 'all of us' across the screen. 'All' is then let on its own on in white writing contrasting a black sceeen to support the idea that no matter some body's sexuality we are all equal in the eyes of Jesus and we should be all treated equally no matter who we are.
