Inspiration - Rihanna "Hard"

The reason this video gives me personally inspiration for videoing our own is because the artist is so dominating over the male actors and they all look petrified to get on the wrong side of her which is exactly how I want the "victims" to feel over our main character because she has/will attack them I want them to always try and be on her best side and not get her angry because they know the consequences just like the men do in Rihanna's video. Another element which we have took inspiration from is the fact that Rihanna still oozes sex appeal even though she is trying to be seen as the one in control her revealing outfits don't stop that and common elements are used, red lipstick to show her passion and fiestyness. The smokey eye make up makes her look instantly eye catching especially to the male audience and gives her alot more confidence. She is also wearing not much clothing which means she wants to show off her best assets in each of her videos to make sure she is living up to her "star image" with fans. We have decided that our main character will wear the revealing clothing and heavy make up for a totally different reason, firstly because she is a cannibal we want her to look captivating in her role but also still give off the sex appeal even with blood and gore all over her body so it shows we want to mix in the feminine side with the cannibal side. The second reason is to separate from any other people taking part in the video, because she is the MAIN character she should be the one people instantly look at so making her outfits more wild and daring compared to say the backing dancers indicates that as a group we have thought about different ways to make sure she stands out rather than say put her in the middle of the screen,for example in this video everyone is wearing green outfits whereas rihanna is wearing white instantly the eye is drawn to her and her beauty, hopefully we will use some of these ideas as inspiration for our video but make sure our own unique ideas shine through.
