Music Video Analysis.

Beyonce - ' If I were a boy' music video contains approximately 96 shots. There is many close up of shots of 'the meat' - Beyonce these shots show alot of facial emotion and expression especially the image (second row, image two) with a tear falling down her face. Medium shots, two shots, establishing shots and cross cutting is used in this video. The images and lyrics relate to eachother, Beyonce is telling the story through her lyrics, whilst the images represent the movement and what is happening. The song is about a girl who got cheated on or played,
and shes confessing what she thinks is the perfect boy,
and that if she was one, those would be the things she would do and the things she would not. Beyonce at the beginning of the video is shown in her boyfriends shoes, and he is saw in Beyonces and how she see's things then eventually the roles switch back and the audience realize how Beyonce acts is how her boyfriend treats her.
