mise-en-scene: L/S of police officers lined up opposite a small, vulnerable black child. Mise-en-scene: "Stop shooting us"  graffiti accompanies the lyric "Get eliminated" symbolises the threat of death made against the black community. C/U- Beyonce sitting in on a police car, sinking into the water, forming a binary opposition between the police and Beyonce, a black performer.

Contrapuntal imagery compared to the chirpy pop song Extremely postmodern video - use of distressing horror imagery deliberately positioning the audience in a confusing and distressing situation. Extremely strong link between lyrical content and on screen visuals - an explicit description, perhaps a binary opposition between a conventional and subversive music video On the word 'riptide' a L/S high angle establishing shot of the sea, connoting danger and death A montage of C/Us of everyday items establishes to the audience themes of travel and solidify the overarching theme of escapism Mixture of conti...
