Where have you been• Links to Andrew Goodwin’s 6 theories by:• Performance – set dance routines all the

way through the video• Girls as the dominant image all the way

through• Voyeurism – when Rihanna is dancing on

the floor she looks into the camera at us.• Lyrics and visuals – Rihanna is constantly

singing to the lyrics.• Rihanna always changes costume in this

video, this is quite typical for a pop music video.

These are typical for a R&B/Pop video for example:

• Keri Hilson – Knock you down: voyeurism right at the beginning of the singing, Keri Hilson sings right into the camera. This is also lyrics and visuals. Keri is wearing a number of outfits throughout the video, this links to Rihanna's videos of her costume changes, and the typicality of other music video’s.
