Beyonce - Best Thing I Never Had (Genre: Pop)

This is a wide angled medium shot of the artist, Beyonce. She is wearing a white bridal lingerie set. Her hair has been styled and her make up done professionally, this is clearly the day of her wedding. The setting is grand with long curtains, cream arm chairs and several flower bouquet's. Beyonce is using direct mode of address, the lyrics at this point 'there was a time', she is beginning to reflect on something. It is conventional for women to wear little clothing in pop videos as she is doing however, she looks classy and appropriate for the storyline. 

 This is the second location and can be used as an establishing shot as we can see she is outside by the sunset. This is a medium close up, Beyonce is centred as she is the most important. The sunset is lighting her from behind and this natural glow is authentic and shows she doesn't need lot of artificial three point lighting to make herself look beautiful. The lyrics here are 'did you expect me to care?' which explains why her neck is crooked and she is staring down the barrel of the lens connecting with the audience. She is wearing her wedding dress here and following the tradition of a white gown to portray the women's innocence.

This is a home video of Beyonce and her prom date when she was younger. Her date is ignoring her and being unkind and the lyrics at this point are 'thank god you blew it, thank god I dodged a bullet, I'm so over you'. The camera is hand held here to highlight that it is home footage, this shot is a medium-long shot and the frame is filled with lots of couples. Before this shot there was a banner saying 'class of '98' and so this and the glittery decorations indicate that this was her prom.

This is one of the following shots and she is now singing 'baby good looking out', this high angle gives her power and it is as if she is shouting it from the highest point she can. This is a long shot and we can see her in her wedding dress, veil and tiara. She is again using direct mode of address telling the audience her story.

 This is a close up of the man putting the ring on Beyonce's finger at their wedding. She has her nails painted to match her dress too, her wedding day seems to be faultless. His watch looks expensive and matches the colour of his cuff links. Both bride and groom look fashionable which is something fans of hers will idolise. You can see the vicar and his bible just blurred in the background, enhancing the wedding.

This is a medium shot of Beyonce and her husband and all of her guests clapping as they walk down the aisle now as husband and wife. By the looks of things most of her guests are in white continuing the traditional colours. Beyonce is smiling at the camera expressing how happy she is now with him rather than with the guy before. The husband is wearing a very smart tailored tuxedo, suiting the occasion. As the ceremony was held outside they have set up chairs and a flowery arch to stand under when exchanging vows.
