Hollywood Undead- Young Matthew Atkinson
When the music video starts it shows a room full of TVs with someones face on (wearing a mask). This reminds me of the TV show, Chuck, where a man gets the ability to memorise every secret held by the US government by watching a series of encoded images (I am mentioning this because the original room is full of TVs). It keeps flashing between this room and a chinese man (looks like he is like the emperor of China demanding war or something). Behind him is a picture of a grenade. This reminds my of the Nazis (Hitler with a nazi flag behind him).
The screen is shaking as the two images switch between each other, becoming more and more distorted. This makes me think of nuclear warfare (Mentioned in the lyrics, "Born in this world as it all falls apart").
The next part is some pretty cool special effects because the room keeps morphing into different shapes and then it does a closeup, high-angled shot, looking up at one of the singers as he starts to sing.
You can see straight away that the music genre is meant to be a bit gothic (Scene to be precise) because of the severe dark colours with a few bright parts standing out. This shot lasts for about half a second and then moves through about 5 different shots in the next couple of seconds.
Throughout the music video there are clips of different flags that could be terrorist groups. They don't even last a second (This freeze frame was extremely difficult to take because it kept going past it) but the viewer is well aware that it has flashed up.
From 1:03 to 1:05 it has a load of random images that flash up and then someone's eye going a bit crazy. I am SURE that this must be a reference to Chuck because that's what it's about. This is quite surprising really because Chuck isn't the type of show I would imagine Hollywood Undead to watch because it's a bit geeky (I still love it though).
From this point there are images that flash up every few seconds for the rest of the video. They aren't to do with anything in particular. They are just random like advertisements that you would see on a billboard.
When the video gets to 3:00 it shows a full view of all the images that have been shown in the video and some of them flash.
Towards the end of the video you see the group walk into a big building and then they charge into an office where the chinese man is and they beat him up and carry him away... Why? I do not know.
