Rihanna - Diamonds Music Video Analysis



This shot is a very simple shot yet a very beautiful and effective shot, its all about the the lighting in this shot, because as you can see there is a bright light shinning from behind her which defines her body and her hair and gives off a really nice lens flare as well when she is out of the way of the light slightly. And this is also another video edited to be black and white.


Here is another beautiful shot of what looks like to be either a sunrise or sunset, and this is in color unlike most of the other parts of the video, and this catches the viewers attention because they are used to a black and white picture but now they changed this shot to be in color and it gains the attention and keeps the audience interested in the music video.
Water is used a lot these days from what I have watched recently its starting to become a convention within music videos, and its a very effective shot of an Arial view of her laying on top of the water and looking up at the camera emotionless, again this would look great if we could try and replicate it in our own music video. In some way this shot also gains the male gaze as she is wearing a see through dress and may cause her to be viewed as an object of desire
