We Found Love Study

 The video starts with a establishing shot of some flats where they seem to live. so right at the start it is setting the scene for the audience telling them what the location is and where everything is set.

 In this scene rihanna and the actor she is in love with are showing affection to each other while the whole room is spinning around them. in this scene it shows hallucination because the world is spinning around them. They must be high of love because this is depicted through them showing affection to each other and the world around them spinning.

 In this random cut scene there is thunder and lightening. This shows fear and distress. The dark glooming clouds and the hints of light from the lightening bring a sense of hidden purity within darkness.

The scene of the thunder and lightening is shown here with a mid shot of rihanna with the video of the thunder and lightening projected onto her while she wraps herself in her coat.

The close up on the eyes in this shot show the eyes diluting. This happens when people have too much of a certain drug so this could be the diluting of the eyes after having a certain drug.

the colours of this cigarette are changing into rainbow colours. This close up could be the bright and colourful colours you see while you are 'high'

this scene is a jackpot machine with losers bouncing around the screen. This could mean that rihanna and her partner are only going to lose what they have and this love means nothing.

The collapsing of this building could resemble the falling of their love story. Also there is a contradiction between this video and rihanna because the banner on the building says 'controlled demolition' whereas the love rihanna has with her partner is uncontrollable and is why they are falling apart.

 In this scene it shows a house burning down but the projection makes it look like that she is in the house burning down with it.

 In this scene you can see the projected video of the building falling down which could resemble rihanna falling apart in this relationship.

In this scene there is a small cut scene of sirens on top of a police car. Police is oftenly resembled as help and security which goes with the next scene i captured.

this scene links with the above scene because rihanna's partner comes to her help when she is passed out on a curb.

In this scene rihanna is packing up and leaving while her partner is laying down on the floor hopeless to do anything. it shows that she is superior because of the levels they are on like her standing up and him laying down plus he is holding her at her feet which could resemble him begging her to stay lowering his status with her.

This scene shows rihanna laying down on the floor with an image of flowers projected onto her blossoming  into beautiful flowers. This could resemble the new life that rihanna is going to live after leaving her drug addiction and her partner.
