Broken Heated Girl Analysis

The story being told in this music video, is Beyoncé being a little girl who is in love with someone who is not as fully committed as she is to the relationship. The video is shot on a isolated beach were only her and a man (partner). The music video is in black and white, creating a serious and sad feeling. She is wearing a black dress unlike hi, who is wearing all white. This directs all the attention to her as it shows she is the one feeling the pain unlike him. So the black and white creates a plain yet very emotional feeling. The lyrics and her voice just add emotional sad effect which is meant to be created. The structure of the music video is narrative based mainly and so is telling you a story but also just showing you the relationship between the two.

I believe that the music video was such a success as it is very simplistic, and gets the story across the audience. The simplicity makes it effective and interesting to watch. The target audience of the video is mainly teenagers and young adults aging around 13-30. It will mainly relate to female viewers as it is about love from a girls perspective.
