Rihanna 'Whats My Name'

Rihanna 'Whats My Name'

I find this establishing shot interesting because the audience can see that the location and scenery continues out of the shot frame, yet it still focuses on a certain building. its a location shot as it allows the audience to become familiar where the shooting is taking place and helps to portray the genre of the video. 

This depth of field shot is really effective as the foreground isnt in focus so your attention is on the figure. The mixture of colours are exsotic. 

This is a behind the shoulder shot, this works well as you can see a clear view of Rihanna and the location but can still see the man figure. Rihanna is wearing a unique and high fashion outfit, this goes with the R&B genre of the song. 

This is a close up shot, the background isn't in focus this draws the viewers attention to Rihanna who is in focus. Her vibrant red her stands out in contrast with the blurry background. 

Another close-up shot is used here, the boy holds her hand showing history between them both. 

A shot of milk dropping onto the floor, opening and spilling gives a more dramatic effect. 

She is dancing through the street here, the choreography is fun and effective. 

I love the light in this shot, the red colour makes this shot stand out. The medium/long shot introduces the audience to the band playing around. 

I like the many different locations in this video, this is one of the last and i think it works as the green tissue paper makes the shot with rihanna more colourful, fun and interesting.

I like this video as i think the location is really effective although simple. The different angle shots make the video interesting and the fast cuts makes it effective and professional looking. I would like to used the idea for the lights in my video, maybe in a garden bbq scene. 

The video starts of with a medium shot of a black room with two lights hanging down. 

This next shot is a close-up shot of a guitar. The light in the background gives  the shot a misty effect. 

Another close-up shot is shown here. The silhouette of the figure gives nice effect. 

A new character is introduced here, more is shown in this medium shot. I like the background, and the simple props used. He wears a grey suite which blends in with the background the broken cello stands out. 

The is a really nice behind shot, with the figure standing in the centre of the shot, and the light crossing over makes the location and shot more effective. 

The whole band is shown for the first time here, a long shot gives you this,  using a long shot also shows the audience the location is placed in a hall where the band are on a stage. 

A behind the shot is used again in this shot, the band are dancing around giving the video a more warm fun effect.

A close-up shot of the lead singer is shown, depth of field is used here making him in focus.

I have research this video as i like the shots wear she is dancing in the dance studio. I would like to include this in my own video. The black and white effect i think makes the video effective and am considering in using this effect in my video. 

The video starts with a medium/long shot, this works because it shows the location. I like the black and white effect which makes the video different, and works with the narrative and locations in the video.

It is then followed by a close up shot of what is clear to be main character.  

This next shot shows a different location, a dance studio. The simple background makes the figure stand out. Her costume is simple, vest and shorts. 

A close up shot is used here. 

Another close up shot is used here

I like the way she is looking directly at the camera in this shot, she is dancing in tune with the music which makes in look really effective. 

A close up shot is yet again used, she is at a different location in a different costume. 

The reflection in the mirror is effective.

This diner scene is simple but effective

This shot of her taking of her ring and placing it on the counter. This adds narrative to the video.

This is a close up shot of a ring, depth of field is used here. 

There is a change of location, she is walking through broad way street.  

This close up shot of her feet walking for behind.
