Riptide represents women, gender and men. Women in this video are generally shown to be victimised and objectified. the video uses key lighting and high shadowing to create a sense of terror, by using terrified facial expressions women are shown to be scared. In the scene of the singing woman we aren't meant to be enjoying the womens uncomfortableness and this is shown through the use of long scenes where the singing woman is clearly in pain or just uncomfortable.

In the 1960's artists had to record visuals and audio making it a long process. Generic fluidity - the way in which a form or genre changes over time Chantel goya- 1966 The video is in black and white and this connotes mystery for the audience. this black and white effect is also due to the lack of colour production at the time as colour music video became more accepted in '64. In the video the artist is seen in a small box that moves during the video, it starts in the left corner of the screen. music videos in the 60's would have been seen on television meaning that the picture would have been larger than any music videos we can access today which are made mainly to be accessible for smaller screens.
