Rehearsal review
There’s a really clever portrait mode mobile phone overlay in the first chorus… featuring the Facebook live emoji reactions floating across the screen too!
The second verse features camera cuts as if she’s swiping through a gallery of images on an Instagram post!
There’s also a shot to the crowd with someone using a mobile phone camera to take an image of Rita on stage.
Big kudos to Portugal for using some inventive overlays we’ve never seen before.
The big bass drum instrumental is bouncing through the stadium for the Portuguese entry.
Rita’s outfit is fun, casual and reflects her personality well.
Watch the rehearsal!
