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

They became a hit from the end of the 1990’s and then were a

5. After Destiny’s Child
In 2002 Beyoncé decided on a different interest to

Foxy Cleopatra and released her first single for the film

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
just married Jay-Z in secret and had the arrival of their
daughter Blue-ivy

6. Beyoncé's Album covers
Beyoncé's album
covers are all
headshots or mid-
shots of her in
different
settings, the
majority of them
are staged in a
studio with a plain
background with
beyonce being the
main attraction of
the cover.

8. The opening scene of the music video is a mid-shot of Beyoncé on a horse and its early
in the morning as the sun is beginning to rise which then zooms out to a long shot to
show her 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, quick cutting shots of Police
riot protection showing the chaos and them 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. The girls dance simultaneously
throughout the video together fitting the lyrics showing the girls in union together and
being strong in contrast with the police riot protection being all over the place and
trying to control as much as possible but being unable to. The police officers are all
covered but the girls are in slightly less clothing showing their femininity throughout
but they’re dressed ready for war. The clips where only Beyoncé are shown show her in
a very strong stance such as long shots stood in the centre stood up straight with water
spraying in the background not touching her showing her superiority, another scene is
showing her in front of a car when it explodes and she just stands strong with this going
on in the background. The last scene is lots of girls dancing together synchronised
showing they're an army of forces and showing their connection.

9. Beyoncé's marketing

the late 90’s and has become a huge star all over the
