Nina Hair (binary/octet-stream)

      The music video to this song shows a string of characters each with multiple relationships. This implies they are all cheating or in multiple relationships. I believe this acts as a warning towards others about what could happen. 

Nina Bed (binary/octet-stream)

The artist is seen wearing all black with a low cut top and her hair gelled back off her face which will exaggerate her assets and help to project her image to the audience. In addition, the other characters all wear outfits that are smart/casual so that they are able to fit in the multiple scenes the characters are seen in. Because each character is only seen for a few seconds but in multiple scenes, it is important that they remain i the same outfits in both scenes in order to ensure the audience is able to easily identify them as the same person. This also explains many of the characters having unique hair and clothing choices. There is a scene in a shower, in which the artists nudity is implied. This nudity conforms to Mulvey's male gaze theory as well as the reverse gaze theory.

Nina Club (binary/octet-stream)

  The video agrees with a pan up to reveal the artist on the bed and then zooms out to reveal a male laying in the bed. This gives some context to the song and video as the audience is able to interpret that she is singing to/about the male in the bed.  Many close ups are used on both males and females, this helps the transitions between two separate scenes be more fluid.  When the artist is seen lip sincing, an upwards tilt is used. This causes the audience to be looking up at her which subconsciously implies that she is someone they should look up to.
