The this was a amplified and performance based video as we had low angle of Beyonce when she was dancing shows off the male gaze to her audiences also close ups were used on her body to emphasis sex appeal. In contrast to Sean Paul that has low angle shots used on him when he's singing to display he's dominant and powerful to the audience and also has a long shots used when there was all women around him which just conform the stereotype that male recording artist are more dominate in this sort of genre as with the mise en scene in the use of props Sean Paul is sitting on a thrown with his long chain and bracelet showing off his wealth and the black sunglasses which suggest he's protected by his money and power. However Beyonce subverts this stereotype with exhibitionism and empowerment as in the video she has about 30-40 shots of her body displayed in this video with different costumes which suggest she is highly important in the video and shows she's dominant compared with Sean Paul that only has 0 shots that display his body and only has one costume outfit this then shows that all the star persona is focused on Beyonce.
