Stay - Rihanna

Stay by Rihanna is a simple, heart-felt video set in a bathroom and centered around the artist portraying the emotions of the song in a very honest, vulnerable performance. The room is dimly light which helps to show the sadness of the song. Rihanna is naked throughout the video which helps to present the image of vulnerability. I personally like how raw and emotional the performance by Rihanna is, which is amplified by the use of close-ups and extreme close-ups, and feel that this is what keeps the audience watching as it is a rare view on the artist who is usually shown dancing around to an upbeat song.
This has shown me that for our music video performance can be key to the video and we should not try to over complicate things.
