Case Study: Music Video Director
MELINA MATSOUKAS
I chose Melina Matsoukas because she has done a lot of work with both Rihanna and Beyoncé. Also her videos are very loud and bright; through her use of colour and camera work.
WHY I CHOSE MELINA MATSOUKAS
“chalk full of bright colours or crisp black and white images, smooth spotlights and tasteful retro models.”
One element Matsoukas has used in some of the music videos she has directed-is black and white colour. Usually the black and white eff ect is smooth and calming, however, this is juxtaposed against the songs which this eff ect it layered upon.

Another eff ect this music video director uses is bright colour, Matsoukas said herself that her videos “are full of bright colours”

EXAMPLE OF BRIGHT COLOURS IN RIHANNA-RUDE BOY
Use of widescreen, like many other music video directors this is a predominant feature of many of Matsoukas videos.

Matsoukas mentions she uses stylish retro models in her music videos.

Melina has often taken lyrics from the songs and visually presented them within the music video, she has also used the song title and also the artists name.
