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.

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.
