Beyonce - Halo
The lighting of this music video supports the lyrics of the song. As whenever Beyonce says "Halo" a harsh ray of light appears behind Beyonce, this interprets that an angel is present. The mise-en-scene of this music video was well thought out as when the man is this video was watching over Beyonce in a high angle shot/ over the shoulder shot, he was wearing white whilst Beyonce was wearing black. This translates that the man is her angel and is watching over her, however, this could also be thought as patriarchal as the man looks like he has control over the woman and the lyrics conveys that the woman needs the man in order to be happy. The slow pace of the editing is parallel with the mood of the song which is relaxing.
