Inspiration

I recently watched a music video by Prodigy named Smack My Bitch Up, which I thought was extremely inspiring and interesting to watch, especially when considering I want to use a controversial theme for my video, to make it more interesting and conform to the genre. This video creates different atmospheres and feelings, which is what I inspire to create within my video. 

"Smack My Bitch Up" is a song by British big beat group the Prodigy. It was released in November 1997 as the third and final single from the album The Fat of the Land. The song was voted by Mixmag readers as the third greatest dance record of all time. Although the song wasn't as big a commercial success as their previous singles, it gained a cult following.

The song caused considerable controversy because of its misogynistic title and its video, which depicted scenes of drunken and drug-fuelled sexual excess and violence. The music video consists of a narrative from with a point of view throughout. The video includes the use of drugs, drink and violence and also sex with hookers and intimacy with strippers. From personal perspective you expect the actor behind the point of view shot to be a guy, as these are the stereotypes associated with the gender of male. However, at the end of the video there is a shot shown to reveal that the actor behind the point of view shot is actually a women, this creates a massive controversial video, which is why I find this video so inspiring and plan to use the idea within my video. My video will consist of a relationship,where the shot is point of view throughout, between two girls only to reveal at the end the other person in the relationship is also a girl, where as the audience will believe it is a boy until revealed at the end.
