The videography of Barbadian recording artist Rihanna consists of thirty-two music videos, three guest appearances on other artists' videos, one video album and two film appearances. In 2005 Rihanna signed a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings, a label owned by Universal Music Group, and released her debut single "Pon de Replay", taken from her first studio album Music of the Sun (2005). The music video for the song was disco and dance inspired[1] as the lyrical theme of the song and was directed by Little X.[2] In 2006, Rihanna released "SOS", the lead single from her second studio album A Girl like Me (2006). Three separate videos for the song were released, with all of them containing various dance-sequences. The second single from the album was "Unfaithful". American director Anthony Mandler directed the accompanying music video, which features Rihanna in a dangerous love triangle struggled between her lover and husband. "Unfaithful" was the first collaboration between Rihanna and Mandler, who later became her regular collaborator. In 2006, Rihanna also starred in her first movie, the third installment of the Bring It On film series, entitled Bring It On: All or Nothing as herself.
In 2007, Rihanna released her third studio album Good Girl Gone Bad. For the new album, Rihanna presented completely new image and style. "Umbrella" was released as first single from the album. The accompanying video for the song was directed by Chris Applebaum and featured scenes of Rihanna naked; only covered in silver paint. It won the Video of the Year accolade at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards held at The Palms in Las Vegas. Seven more singles were released from the album, accompanied with separate music videos; all directed by Mandler. For two of the 2007 singles' music videos, "Shut Up and Drive" and Don't Stop the Music", Rihanna flew to Europe, to shot them in Prague, the Czech Republic. In 2009, Mandler also directed the video for "Run This Town"— a collaboration between Jay-Z, Kanye West and Rihanna. It was shot in Queens, New York and is set in post-apocalyptic environment. "Russian Roulette" was the lead single from Rihanna's fourth studio album Rated R (2009). American actor and model Jesse Williams made cameo appearance in the dark-theme inspired video. For the frequent video collaboration with Rihanna, Mandler concluded:
She saw me as someone who could support and drive her artistry and personality, eventually in a more sexual and womanly way. I saw it as an opportunity to work with somebody in the capacity of a muse. I really look at her like that. I feel like we’ve grown through each other, around each other, and because of each other, and will never take back the quality of work or the freedom that she’s given me to communicate.[3]
"Hard" was released as second single from Rated R. It's music video was directed by Melina Matsoukas, who also later shot the videos for Rihanna's 2010 sequel singles, "Rude Boy" and "Rockstar 101". The same year, Rihanna lent her vocals on Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie". The accompanying music video features actors Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox in a love–hate relationship while Eminem and Rihanna perform in front of a burning house. In 2010, Rihanna also filmed the scenes for her second film appearance in Battleship, which is set to be released in April 2012. In 2011, three of Rihanna's videos has met with criticism and controversy. The Matsoukas directed music video for "S&M" (Loud, 2010) had faced a lawsuit from American photographer David LaChapelle[4] and was banned in more than eleven countries due to its sexual content.[5] The Parents Television Council (PTC), a non-profit organization that advocates what it considers responsible entertainment, criticized Rihanna for "cold, calculated execution of murder" in the video for her 2011 single "Man Down".[6] In September, 2011, Rihanna released "We Found Love", lead single from her sixth studio album Talk That Talk. The video for the song caused controversy from activist groups, including The Rape Crisis Centre in the UK.[7] Christian youth pastors as well as the Ulster Cancer Foundation also criticized the video, for Rihanna's portrayal of having sex while under the influence of illegal drugs, not being a role model to young girls and women and for smoking.[8][9]
