Narrative - Amy

How does Kapadia build a narrative around the Amy Winehouse story?

- Structure (chronological, beginning - rise to fame, middle - fame itself, and end - decline and false endings. Follows a classic five part narrative)

- Binary opposites (alcoholism and sobriety, drug use and non-drug use, inner conflict and outer              conflict)

- Character creations (who is represented as hero - Amy, and villain - Blake and Mitch)

-  Codes (action - self destruction through drugs and drugs in performance scenes, through appearance and clothing)
