Skrillex - First of the Year

Skrillex released this song in 2011 and caused a bit of controversy. A man who is seen following a little girl home follows her until she stops to answer a phone in a warehouse. Upon the bass drop, the girl screams the lyric 'Call 9/11 Now' and a supersonic sound sends the man flying backwards.

The use of effects is very good and the girl possesses qualities of an alien like creature. With powers and jet black eyes this aims to strike fear into the viewers and of course, the man himself. The sound is non diegetic and is for the whole duration of the video.

This use of special effects is what I would hopefully like to adopt and use. The use of it in a real life situation makes me look forward to creating one but we need to find the right song.
