This video is very surreal, it uses bright imagery which almost looks fakes and starts off with Rihanna spinning around in the wind with a colour theme of pink and red, making us as audiences feel like we are watching another world, it has positive imagery.
The video supports the lyrics of the song as she literally is in a deserted place which makes it seem she is the ' only girl in the world' and with the imagery used of the unreal places it makes it very effective- it could be said that she is like a drug and the place she is in makes it seem like she is under the influence of drugs, the camera shots used are often very sudden so the video speeds up as the song does, this again reinforces the song title, and give soft a postive effect as she looks happy and the colours are all light and feminine, alhtough the outfits Rihanna wears show her off as an artist and again her red hair stands out.
The video also seems to be ' out of control' for us audience, yet Rihanna seems to have full control in the video- when she lays down the flowers go her way and she always looks directly at the camera as it moves, as if she is directing it, showing her power and status.
The colours of the video represent lust and passion as they are mostly reds and pinks, they also make the location seem out of this world and the video has a very 'girl power' feel to it, although it contrasts the lyrics to the song as she is asking a man to make her feel like she does.
I think this video shows off Rihanna as a artist well, and gives off positive imagery as its a upbeat and fast paced song
