Analysis of Frontier - Psychiatrist

This video of another school's A2 work. At first watch, the video seems very complicated. However, after dissecting the video, my class and I decided it was not as complicated as it seemed. The opening scene is an intertextual reference to the TV Show 'Breaking Bad'. It is clear that the TV show was a big influence as there are many close ups of science equipment, portraying the idea that these two men are making an illegal substance (as they are in Breaking Bad). Additionally, there are close ups of the student in the 'dunces hat' who goes in and out of close ups of the camera. this is also an intertextual reference to artists such as 'The Prodigy' and 'Eminem'. The video is very well edited and the music video is in time with the beat of the song. This is done by speeding up certain clips of the video.
