Beyoncé and Jay Z star in Bang Bang short film

The first part of a short film trilogy featuring Beyoncé and Jay Z has been uploaded online.

The husband and wife duo have teamed up with director Dikayl Rimmasch for the Bang Bang series, which was shown during the pair's recent On The Run tour.

The first part of the series sees Beyoncé and Jay Z channel retro and Western influences as they go on the run in the US.

The clip premiered on Nowness and director Rimmasch said:

"[Jay Z] said: 'We're not trying to do this literally, it's not that we're Bonnie and Clyde. We're on the run from everything. On the run from becoming a cliché. On the run from doing the same thing again'."

He added: "[Beyoncé and Jay Z are] two very intelligent, insightful and thoughtful people, in an almost low-key way, which is how they got to where they are. 

"They are very aware of people's attitudes and what energy they are bringing."
