No tears left to cry- ariana grande

Ariana Grande has been through a lot emotionally, mentally and physically therefore a lot of her pain is transparent in the music video. Her main target audience is the fans attacked and traumatised during the Manchester bombing at her concert. The music video starts with the camera spinning around which suggests that her thoughts are all over the place. The lyrics of the song show that
she's staying positive and attempting to pick herself up again after the attack. Near the end of the video multiple masks are shown to emphasise the metaphor of her hiding her emotions from society.

This music video has references from Ariana's first music video since she recently claimed that she wasn't herself in 'put your hearts up' and therefore links with 'no tears left to cry'. The first video shows ariana as a different character and felt extremely fake. 

Formation:

formation sends multiple messages to the audience including ideas evolving around slavery,feminism and pop culture. Some audiences are enjoying and supporting the dominance portrayed however some state its inappropriate. The issues stated throughout the music video were very clear with the use of mise-en-scene and representation. Some issues related to anti-police and the black lives matter campaign.

Run the world:

Many genres are associated in the music video which expresses the pop culture wildly. Female empowerment is expressed with the use of movement, many females joining together and a masculine personality.

Similarities:

The aimed audience is very similar for both music videos because they are both based on female empowerment. Some of the scenes are quite alike for example the law enforcement is involved in Formation since Beyonce is standing on top of a police car showing that she is stronger than them. Similarly, in Run the world shes standing on top a car
