Experimental Music Video
We were given the song About You by XXYYXX and tasked to create a music video for the track using repurposed footage and images of our choice. I decided to use the majority of images from classic horror films in combination with digital and tv static to create a technological horror aesthetic which I was inspired to make by Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989) and the video featured in the 2002 film The Ring, as well as its Japanese predecessor Takashi Shimizu's Ju-on film series examples, being; Ju-On The Curse (2000), Ju-On The Grudge (2002), etc.
During the making of this music video, I learned how to edit to the beat of music similar to the style used within the work of Edgar Wright. I have also used a collaboration of editing effects to give the collected footage I wanted, a combination of sinister meets technology-based horror as I combined the Mosiac effect within Premier Pro a fluid simulation to make it look like a pixeled essence was corrupting the video footage.
This video by konradnoises helped me think about the sound during editing and helped me break down mentally how I should be editing to music and sound, which I will be implementing into my future work and think out thoroughly in the future.

Overall I achieved my goal of a sinister tone mixed with creepy pixeled effects akin to my inspirations, however, in the future, I would like to create a narrative within the music video that could be followed. But for a task where I used repurposed footage and not my own I succeed in creating an impactful and lasting image for the viewer to experience.
