Mark - Video Image Research


To start with i see two disturbing images that would creep me out. They are both from the music video by Marilyn Manson - Beautiful People.
He has weird ways of putting his message across and is not shy in what way he is seen by the world.
The lyrics discuss two major themes: what Manson refers to as 'the culture of beauty' and the cultures connection to Friedrich Neitzsche's theory of master-slave morality.
He's explaining that the songs 'weak ones' are always wrong and the 'strong ones' are the beautiful people.
It's known as one of his most successful tracks.
The images do show what he sees as beautiful people, but they are actually quite grim and weird looking with machines on their heads and bodies. His view was that the normal less motivated people are seen as weak and useless to modern society.

I personally wouldn't use images like this as i see them as being weird and disturbing, there very exploitive and strange.
I would maybe mimic the way in which he puts his message down, using people and different objects to show the emotion.
