They also use a green screen in this music video to project an image of a burning house. this is because it shows that the relationship between Rihanna and the boy in the video is burning, crumbling and breaking up. also they used the green screen because of health and safety reasons and also because of the budget they probably could not afford to go buy a house and burn it. Also they use the green screen to add special effects such as lightning and clouds
