Rachel Rieder- Beck's Not a Loser

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJN3PGqDRNg

In 1993, Beck came out with his first real single "Loser". Not only were the lyrics slightly off putting, but the video that accompanied it was thought of as bizarre and frightening. The video uses several different methods to achieve the mood of the song. The movement of the coffin is done with time-lapse, while at certain points they use different color filters and blurring techniques to make the video more interesting. The film was also filmed from several different perspectives. Beck's music has since become less controversial,yet the theme and atmosphere set by the music video is even now undeniably creepy.
