Digi-pak analysis

Rihanna digi-pak loud

Front cover is of Rihanna there is an extreme close up of her face; she is wearing red lipstick and has red hair this could show love and passion, her make up is bold but not over the top. Her facial expression is quite plain she has her eyes closed, which shows she is thinking or might be upset or hurt.  This cover already shows that the album is about love. The album is called loud most of the music is up tempo, pop, electro-R&B and it reflects her personality which is loud fun flirty and energetic and the attitude grabs your attention.Vocalists, including rappers Drake, Nicki Minaj and Eminem,The CD is a pink rose, the pink can symbolize flirty and sweet and it’s a rose so it can show elegance. Also it goes with the theme of love and passion.

yes from a film point of view, it is very natural not any obvious staging.

is there a narrative or theme in the video?

does it fit in the indie rock genre?
Yes, its similar to kings of Leon videos- there is no big fuss, dark, minimal , lots of focus  and close ups on the instruments to show they are ' real musicians, also there are slow movements and blurred effects.

going between the story and the band creating a connection, also the slow motion especially when you first see Abbie on the swing the rhythm of the swing goes nicely. and colour changes gives it the professional look.

which is your favorite part?
 the layered effect camera angles, character and story built. the effect of the scene where Abbie as it is like a old video like a old movie so it makes her a old memory to him (lead singer).
