Music Video Analysis The video I have decided to analyse is ‘Countdown’ by Beyoncé I chose this as I feel there is a lot of use of mise en scene, editing and camera work which I could take inspiration from and use in my own final video. The video begins with a close up of the artist this allows the viewer to automatically know who the song is by. Laura Mulvey may suggest that this will be to attract a male gaze and attracts their attention. However Barry Keith may suggest that this is because an audience needs to identify with the media product by familiar characteristics. Beyoncé is a well-known artist and is a easily recognisable character, so
