The document provides an analysis of the mis-en-scène elements in the music video for "Love the Way You Lie" by Rihanna and Eminem. It describes the consistent costumes worn by Rihanna and Eminem's character to portray certain personalities, and the settings of a house, field and burning house that move the narrative along. The camerawork alternates between close-ups and wide shots of the singers and characters to focus on details or draw in the audience during intense parts of the story being told through the song.
