The intro to the video Is powerful and immediately Beyoncé – Crazy In Love (R&B) engaging. The camera tracks forward in a fast pace as the music starts from the very beginning of the video. Beyoncé struts down the centre of the road towards the camera. The camera is at eye-level which allows the star to give direct address into the lens. Slow motion is also used effectively here, as Beyoncé walks confidently and flips her hair – the camera takes a medium close up shot. The camera then follows the star outside an old, rustic building. The lighting is natural. Performance is then used in this video as the singer performs a dance sequence while lip syncing to the track. This gives the music video more impact and dimension. Another scene of the music video involves both artists, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The rapper is performing his verse as both stand in front of a burning car. The camera changes from a further away low angle to a closer up eye-level shot. The lighting is dark due to this scene
