Journal 05 - V/H/S Credits
The end credits for the horror anthology V/H/S was particularly interesting to me because of how it juxtaposes audio and video. The video makes use of the aesthetic of old VHS tapes, and while normally associated with low quality video, there is a certain charm about how it is combined with the audio. The video quality is very raw which compliments the violent nature of the footage itself. This in combination with the upbeat dance punk elements of the song work to create a beautiful mashup of old and new or gritty and refined.
The details of the video are sacrificed in favour of creating an overall feeling and emotion of chaos and anarchy. The use of repetition to match the audio was also particularly well done.
