for this video of shut up and drive it starts of with a mid shot of the garage doors opening, by this it gives us the subject matter. however from the first shot from seeing the garage you would of fort that it would be men working in the garage with Rihanna but it isn't its a group of lady dancers climbing all over the cars and posing. As the doors open a red car pulls up, then a close up of a foot coming out of the car wearing leopard print high heels. This add mystery to who the person is. A mid shot is then used to expose the person to be Rihanna.
