Pop music video analysis (Beyoncé)

In this music video Beyoncé is amongst a group of male back up dancers and this is because it makes her stand out. Also this shows Beyoncé as more powerful as she is the only female in the room. She is wearing a black leotard which reveals and shows off her figure and is very simple along with her set and costume and make up.

Close up on her face shows how simplistic her make up is, however it is enough to make her stand out. Also a depth of field is shown by blurring out the background and focusing on the closes thing to the camera. also she is wearing a captains hat which is worn by a leader which also signifies that she is a powerful young rich women.

The music video is performance based throughout and has no narrative; also the music video doesn't follow the lyrics. Although there isn't a narrative or anything to follow the video is well structured as it has long takes from different angle which have been edited into short cuts and jumps to keep the viewer entertained.
