Goodwin
The brutality and violence is one
way in which this video reflects the genre and the genre characteristics; frequently
in metal video there is excessive rampage and violence. In the video as they
pull the KKK guy out of the man, it appears all slimy and gross this relates to
Goodwin’s words as the lyrics say ‘Lubricating our driest generation!’ This makes
good point as he seems to be referring to racists and murderers as “our driest
generation”. AS the record label demands there are lots of shot of the lead
singer’s face along with lots of shots of the band members playing their
instruments the final point of Goodwin’s theory that I can see in this video is
the use of close ups on eyes and lights reflect the notion of looking
Mise en Scene
The use of static/glitch effect
they have added in the editing right at the beginning has been used to show the
violence and volatility of the music. The video also does this when the human
body is ripped apart and when the klansman is killed. The building in which the
video is filmed is shown as empty and possibly abandoned like the locations I am
planning to try and use. I feel they have chosen this location to show that
they know what they are doing to these people is illegal (despite not being
wrong because obviously the other guy is supposed to represent someone whom in
the KKK)
Camera
This seems to have been filmed
mainly on handheld camcorders to create the same jittery, faced paced and
disjointed. A low angle long shot is used as they are carrying the person around;
they are shown scuttling around with this live body as if trying to get it somewhere
quickly without getting caught.
Editing
In editing they have added in
static glitches like an old TV playing a video and have put lines over the
screen throughout to hold on to the old TV feel.

I really like this video and am
going to try encapsulate a similar effect they have achieved from their editing
however I also really like the use of playing clips backwards like they have
done using trickling blood.
