Music Video Analysis 2 - The Prodigy - Omen


This music video is very fast paced and shows the band playing at a venue somewhere. The video is edited so that when it is the verse and very fast paced, the video is cut to the beat with flashing images and lights constantly flashing and changing on the screen. when it comes to the chorus, and the music slows down slightly, the video stops flashing all the time and focus's on the singer while the chorus is on. The main performance (even though its not much of a performance) is both the singer and the little girl who is supposed to be the Omen, playing the xylophone. This is one way the performance links to the images, with the little girl when its just the xylophone playing because all attention is on her. Another way is the chorus when just the singer is singing, and the camera slows down and just focus's on him because this is what the music does as well. Finally, when the verse is on, the camera is flashing between different band members and their instruments when they are dominant in the performance.
