SH: Music video analysis

Rihanna - Diamonds
  • The close up of her fingers shows dismemberment (Goffman et al)
  • Feminine touch is shown of her fingers caressing diamonds
  • There is a fast cutting rate on CU's of her fingers.
  • close ups of her legs and topless body make up the meat shots and show dismemberment
  • This also creates the artificial look
  • Slow pans of her body reinforces the feminine touch
  • Having a shot of a woman on the floor shows objectification
  • however, camera is generally at a low angle as if looking up to her, this portrays her positively to her fans.
