That B.E.A.T (Bagheri, 2012) Why did Beyonce use footage from this short documentary for Formation? To represent the culture in New Orleans. To save time and money. Allows Beyonce to explore aspects of African American culture. B.E.A.T is open and inclusive, while formation is exclusive and aggressive. Hyperreality- beyond reality. Term developed by Jean Baudrillard. This refers to the idea that representations within media texts are more real than which they represent. Some of these representations are simulacrum . This refers to a representation of something that no longer exists, or something that never exists.  Idea that life is boring but the media product that represents certain events makes it more interesting.  Key theory 5: Postmodernism- Jean Baudrillard. "It is no longer a question of imitation, nor duplication, nor even parody. It is a question of substituting the signs of the real for the real." Bricolage- A media product that combin...

Conflict in the Formation music video: MES police car with B sitting on top of it symbolises rebellion, which is further anchored by her carefree and powerful facial expressions. Intertextual conflict- police persecution of black people. Hanging out of car, conflicts with B's calm facial expressions.

This signifies cultural appropriation, but also demonstrates B's power over the past. High key spotlight in empty pool, shorts, cop tops, loose afros and big glasses (70's style). Context: Formation is the lead single for the album Lemonade. It describes racial tensions in America and also draws historical parallels with references to racism and slavery. How does dance encode meaning in Formation? Middle finger symbolises a rebellion against slavery. The jewels she is wearing suggest wealth. Beyonce...

Representation of a stereotypical black woman body type (curvy). She adopts a stereotypical housewife role in the kitchen. She subverts the housewife stereotype by sexualising food- implies black women are sexually promiscuous .  Lil Pump- Gucci gang  (Representation of young bme Americans).
