The first music video I have chosen to look at is 'The Devil In I', and the song is the first single to be released from Slipknot's new studio album. One of the things that makes this Slipknot video great is that it is very different to almost every music video you will be able to find. Another reason why I believe it to be a great video is that it displays how there is a certain level of anger that is built up inside of everyone (and to some extent psychosis), yet it does not exhibit so much that it makes the viewer uncomfortable when both watching and listening to the lyrics and the melodic guitar riffs. Many of the shots in the video are taken from a low angle, giving the music a feeling of power, and when these shots are taken of the band members with their masks on, there is a sense of intimidation as well.
The thing about this video that is most likely to influence how I create my own music video is the rapid change over of shots.
