2. Beyoncé
Beyoncé originally started out in a girl group called
Destiny’s Child with Survivor, Independent woman, Say
my name etc.
They were managed by Matthew Knowles which was
Beyoncé's dad who was a successful music producer.
They then signed a record deal with Columbia Records in
1997 and their first big hit song was featured on the
Men In Black soundtrack.
They became a hit from the end of the 1990’s and then
were a hit right throughout until 2005 when they
eventually split wanting to pursue solo careers.

In 2002 Beyoncé decided on a different interest to
singing, she was in the film Austin Powers and acted as
Foxy Cleopatra and released her first single for the film

fighting temptations and also sung the films soundtrack.
She has since done collaborations with other artists and
has become a huge name in the music industry and has

The opening scene of the music video is Beyoncé on a
horse in a derelict area where there is rubbish thrown
about. There then is a long shot showing the contrast in
colours showing the dark black of the horse and the
purity of Beyoncé in all white and white is represented
as almost angelic and God-like showing superiority. It
flips between Beyoncé on a horse, Police riots running
about and Beyoncé being on top of a car as if she is
leading the riots. She shows the superiority of the girls
by showing the Police men running around in a panic
with The girls stood in position ready for the police to
come with the weapons and lions as protection fitting
the theme of the song. As the police arrive Beyoncé is
central of the girls in lots of gold headwear showing she
is the leader of the riot and then the music comes in
which she is supported by the girls behind her with the
lyrics in the song and the stance.
7. Beyoncé's marketing
Beyoncé is well established through Destiny’s child from
the late 90’s and has become a huge star all over the
