Inspirational TV series: American Horror Story (2011-)

Here are the opening credits of the first 3 seasons of American Horror Story, a supernatural thriller/horror television series. I really love the use of fast-paced editing and the jittery quick cuts. I also like the use of lowkey lighting and occasional flashes, which startle the audience causing disorientation. Most disturbing shots have a short duration, which creates an enigma. This is something we could think about when editing our music video, as we plan to edit to the beat - the tempo of our song picks up in the instrumental parts which could be filled using a choppy montage of shots, like the opening credits above.
