Applying Andrew Goodwin's Theory:

Example Of An Illustrating Narrative:



The video provides a literal representation of the lyrics because the lyrics constantly repeats the word of 'whistle'  and this is clearly shown across the visuals of people whistling.

Example Of an Amplifying Narrative:



The video amplifies the chorus as it constantly show Rihanna dancing and chanting along to the lyrics whereas the rest of the video just illustrates her casual relationship.


Example Of A Contradicting Narrative:



The video can be argued to be a disjuncture because as well as the music, the lyrics are also to some extent ignored in the visuals which creates enigma and leaves the audienced confused.
