'DISTURBIA'

 

 

 

 

I really like Rihanna's music video for her song 'Disturbia' as it is in a dark scene with edgy movements. Right from the start as it opens up into the song a creepy noise is made by a piano making it intriguing to watch and listen and creating an amazing effect. I thought the sharp, sudden movements and jolting actions made from the start by Rihanna herself and other dancers fitted really well with the song and scenery. Although I want to base my music video on a drum and bass genre song I think that this sort of scene would work well for what I imagine my final looks to be.

 

The contact lenses that Rihanna wears with one of the outfits works really well with the theme as she is made to look like a zombie. The filming of the video was also interesting in the sense that it jolts in parts of the song which fits really well.

 

I loved the amount of outfit changes she has throughout the video as it has given me a lot of inspiration for my two final looks. The film scenery has also given me inspiration for the backgrounds of my final shoots. I really like the section of the video when there is a blank wall with Rihanna, a couple of dancers and some simple old looking lighting either side of them. This makes the whole scene look nervy and in suspense.

 

The make-up in this video is amazing with the blackness around the eyes and the dark contouring up Rihanna's cheek bones. I also like how the make-up artist has made her look dirty when she is tied up in the dark dirty scene.

 

 

'WHO'S THAT CHICK'

 

 

 

Rihanna's other music video for 'Who's that chick' has also the same sort of feel to it as 'Disturbia' did as the outfits are similar, although the song is more quirky and upbeat in this one giving it a bit of a different view on it.

 

I noticed on one of the outfit changes in this music video, Rihanna again has the whitened out contact lenses in her eyes. I really like this effect and think it fits in really well with this general 'creepy' theme.

 

 

MAD HOUSE

 



 

 

Rihanna used this song as an introduction into her album 'Rated R' to give her audience a quick insight and see what they should be expecting from the album. From the opening of the song it begins with creepy music. She has used small clips from her other music videos mixed together to create the introduction video for this song which I think has given a great effect and gives you a quick intake as to what to expect.
