Analysing Lily Allen - Smile (RESEARCH)

Narrative:- The outline of this video is about Lily Allen getting dumped by her boyfriend. She is obviously heartbroken and wants him back because she is sitting down in her bedroom eating chocolate. She obviously wants him back so she thinks of a plan to get him back, which consists of him getting:
  • Robbed when going to meet Lily
  • When he is with her she puts Laxatives in his tea
  • Whilst she is with him she has people trashing his flat
  • He goes back to his flat to find it trashed but also starts to have stomach problems resulting in him needing to go the toilet all the time.
  • He ends up back at her flat where she can comfort him and get him back with her.
Genre:-  The genre of this video is  pop. This can be shown in the clothes she is wearing which is a dress and trainers. Also the video is very colourful with smiles and generally Lily having a laugh getting revenge on her boyfriend for leaving her. 


Location:- The song is set around London, focusing in a cafe which is the British culture. Lily's British voice and accent is apparent to the video which gets exaggerated a lot through the use of close ups, where we can see her miming along to the song.
