Beyonce Halo - Basic Lyric Analysis



-At the beginning of the video, the word "Sound" is emphasised as the music in the background stops. This is almost ironic as she says "Didn't even make a sound" and the sounds stop. This could be a possible convention we could use in our piece to make words stand out.

-The word "Halo" is clearly addressed to the male character in the video.

-Where she says "I've got my angel now" the lyrics relate to relationships so audiences can relate this to their own.

-Beyonce is not singing while the song repeats "Halo" as this would look silly she only sings the last -

-"Halo" which gives it more meaning, making it stay in the audiences head.

-When she sings "Its written all over your face" she looks at the male actor in the video, representing she is seeing something others don't. It looks like she's speaking or whispering to him.

-Whilst singing the lyric "Hit me like a ray of sun" it appears she is thinking deeply as she is on her own, this gives a sense of introspection, although she is singing a monologue when she sings lyrics on her own. The sun is also shining on her, which gives a literal sense to the lyric.

-She looks vulnerable in this video, which is contrast to some of her others around this time such as 'Single ladies' this relates to the love side of the song/video showing she has completely let down her guard to the man in the video.

-When she sings "Surrounded by your embrace" the man is very close to her, and all around her. Giving the lyrics meaning again.
