Deadmau5 - Ghosts N Stuff


This opening shot for Deadmau5 "Ghosts N Stuff" is a bird's eye view of a presumed unconscious man being wheeled through the hospital on a ward trolley. This is a good opening scene as the audience are left to question what has happened to this man and will he be okay.


In this shot it is apparent that the man has passed away due to the fact that using a layered effect, comically a ghost appears from the man's body in the hospital. 


Here we see the artist of the video Deadmau5 in a nightclub in his trademark headgear which suggests that he is partying and having fun. Furthermore in the background there are people with fancy dress so therefore it could be fancy dress or even Halloween which would tie in with the ghost from the previous scene.


Here the comical ghost is seen trying to act normal or human by ordering a fast food meal but struggling to consume it. This shows that the ghost is trying to be human and previously who he was but he can't be. Also the chef is acting strangely towards the ghost as it is not a part of everyday life and it is apparent that the ghost appears as a joker.


In this final scene the man comes back to life in the hospital ward, only to be awaken with the space invaders tattoo that the ghost had as shown in the previous screenshot. This shows how a part of the man seemed to live on in the ghost and suggests that maybe there is life after death.
