In this shot, the only colour we see is the red through the nail polish, the editing cuts to the beat and

Editing is used to a pinnacle in this music video, the majority of the shots seen through this series of
clips are played in reverse and various other shots and filters are played over these shots, this
disorients the viewer and further amplifies the tone of the song and music video.
