The music video includes pans, when we see the camera panning around the dancers. Also there is quite a lot of basic camera movements in the music video. Also the music video at the beginning uses a fade in, the screen is black but then the image of Beyonce and her dancers fades in.

The music video uses basic cuts, jumping from one scene to another very quickly.

There are many different editing techniques used throughout the music video. The only props used in the music video is the small ring that Beyonce has on her finger, which is used to link the lyrics to the music video, and therefore matches Goodwin's theory that lyrics go with what we can see.

Beyonce is always the central dancer, this is connoting her power, and connoting the idea that she is the most important lady there, and therefore is the 'center of attention'. By having a simple background, the audiences eyes don't get distracted, and are permanently on the dancers. The setting is very simple and ensures that no attention is taken away from the singer and her two other dancers. The entire music video is filmed against a white background, and the music video has effects on it to make it look black and white. The music video is set in a filming studio.
