Conventions of an RnB Video

Beyoncé - Crazy in Love
This video fits with the stereotypical conventions of an RnB video. Throughout the video the focus is on Beyoncé dancing and uses a lot of the male gaze (Theorized by Laura Mulvey) towards the end of the video when Jay Z starts rapping, the camera focuses on him however Beyoncé is still beside him and it occasionally cuts to her, the fact she is beside him whilst the focus is on him suggests that he is dominant over her.
