The music video Vermillion by Slipknot is rather unusual however it is extremely appealing and makes the audience want to watch on. The "slow movement" effect is created by the main character (Janna Bossier) walking extremely slow and every movement she makes is practically made in milliseconds, by doing this the camera is simply left to film on a tripod for most probably over an hour in a reasonably crowded public place, and when filming is finished they simply increase the speed of the film to create the effect. The effect produces a great feel to the video and you can sense the actress frustration of the world passing her by.
The reason why I thought of this video is that I believe that we could possibly use this style of editing. Although we have not started planning or storyboarding the music video I think that this effect can be very impressive when done correctly.
Also we could use this style of editing but in reverse, by reverse I mean our character walking normally but everyone else in the background moving very slowly to make our character seem very hyper. If all the people in the scene ignore the main character as he tries to speak to them it would be a great way to show our characters desperateness and how unsociable he seems to other people.
The music video shows a confused character walking though New York following a butterfly, her frustration is clear to see due to the Mise en scene and her heavily duty eye make up. I am a big fan of this video and believe we can use some of its ideas for our own music video.
