Inspiration editing

The Prodigy's song "Omen" has been a particular inspiration to us as it also tries to convey a similar message that we are also trying to. Not only this but the pace of the music is extremely fast and their video consists of a huge array of fast, snappy cuts and is edited also to suit this.

The idea of torment and horror is conveyed in a variety of ways including the editing and transitions. Elements from this video have proved a huge influence to us and have also displayed to us the importance of the editing and how this must reflect the pace of the music. This not only makes the video look like it belongs with the music but will also be particularly effective for us in conveying the mania of our character.

Controversial Videos

In response to our target audience to create a unique "off the wall" video which is different to the norm as a group we have opted for what at the moments seems like a challenge. We have decided to use our music video to highlight controversial issues through the visuals of our video in reponse to the lyrics. From our research we have deduced that many videos from this genre do this, which can be seen in the following examples. These videos have also been the videos which we haved viewed multiple times as they are interesting and take more than one sitting to be understood. We also aspire to achieve this in our video having many different layers to our video which will spark different interpretations and views.


- Highlighting the issue of adultry and the destruction it causes

- highlighting the issues of bullying

- contraverial from its explicit drug referneces and graphic imagery

- Living up to their reputation this video has a age limit on those who can view it! This video was at #1 on the countdown and therefore named the "Most Controversial Video" in MTV's history. The video portrays drinking and driving, snorting cocaine, violence, vandalism, nudity and sex. The unedited version also includes a scene of heroin use and a hit and run incident.
