Music Video Research - Love The Way You Lie

Although this video is not from the pop genre and the song is not really linked to the one we want to do, I chose to evaluate this video, because as a group we had the idea of having the singer and the story seperate in the video. This video does this exactly, it has Eminem and Rihanna singing outside a burning house, and has two actors telling the story inside the house, before the fire. You as the audience watching it know the two are connected but I think it is more powerful, showing the singers and the situation they are singing about seperately. It is also a different idea, as it is not used that often in videos, most of the time the lead singer, is also the person in the sotry. I think as we are going to do a love story which is a common narrative choice, to do this idea would be a good idea.
