Chosen director

My chosen director is Anthony Mandler.

Anthony Mandler is an American film director, music video director, television commercial director and photographer. As a music video director, his most notable and frequent collaborator is Rihanna. The two have worked on more than a dozen videos together throughout her career, starting with "Unfaithful" in 2006 and most recent "Only girl", "California king bed" and "man down". He has also written and directed music videos for many other famous artists like Jay Z, Beyonce, Eminem, Usher, Shakira, Taylor swift, Justin Bieber, Ne-yo, 50 cent, Nicki minaj and etc.
I have noticed from his videos like the ones he directed with Rihanna that he does a lot of closeups of her face. Like in the music video "Califiornia king bed" there is a lot of close ups of her and the male character in the video. This shows that they are really close and there isn't any separation. The colours that Mandler uses are all quite urban and calm colours. Nothing so bright or dark. It feels very warm like in the music video "California king bed" when she is walking around near the bed and the colour of the sun and background has that sort of calm feeling to it. Kind of like she is in heaven. Also the colours he uses for the video "only girl" kind of represents her in a kind of sense that she has the power and rules her own world, like the use of pink and red has that sense of power in the woman's world.

Here are the two 3 videos that Anthony Mandler directed with Rihanna.
