Rihanna - We Found Love

We had a class discussion on Rihanna's music video. Her video was pop based and was based on her relationship with Chris Brown. The story behind the music video is about her and her boyfriend's love story. Our class came up thought the story behind was Rihanna and Clavin Harris were madly in love, they both toke drugs. At the start of their relationship this alcohol and drug use was bearable however, as the relationship went on Rihanna could not take it anymore and therefore she walked out. however, at the start of the video she states she wants the bad things back as the good things come with the bad. We came to a conclusion that her video was edited quite a bit. The story was not continuity as at the start of the video Rihanna and Clavin were in the bath and then in the middle of the video they were in bath again and also in the cafe Rihanna is on the table in one shot and in the other she's on the other side on a different table, we did not see this through the camera lense. The shots or images are only up for 2 seconds and then the new shot is switched, they have done this to keep the viewers interested.
