Textural Analysis

The director Anothony Mandler has made sure the music and visuals accuratly match together, by having every cut matching to the beat of the music. I counted 54 cuts in the middle of this video. The cuts are a lot faster than you think; I counted this four times to make sure I was accurate.
We see close-ups of the artist Rhianna throughout this music video, we also see Laetitia Casta (the woman with Rhianna) eyes and other features of her face in a close up. The direct address used from both girls in the video engages the audience, especially male watchers. The notion of looking influences the audience to look at them, with their seductive poses and body language.

This music video is narrative based; the video represents a love story between two young women, creating a lot of tension in the music video, and a seductive nature.
