Most Controversial music videos

MIA - Born Free 
https://vimeo.com/11219730

  •  This music video is a 9 minute 'mini movie' which had everyone talking and caused a lot of controversy and uproar, but was also praised just as much as it was criticised. 
  • The video was placed in an alternative reality where ginger haired people are the persecuted minority, and young ginger haired men are taken away by grown men wearing gas masks, and then the young boy is later shot in the head.
  • The use of camera angles are good as theres a big variety, from close ups  to extreme long shots. They also use zoom and hand held camera movements which give the video much more effect as we feel like we can see everything from the persons eyes.
  • The video also points out some major issues such as genocide exists, violent oppression is still common and the USA is still leading the world through military force. 
  • MIA released this video too create a reaction from the public and thats exactly what she did.


Madonna - Like A Prayer

Madonna has a history of doing controversial and provocative videos but this video was by far the most controversial video, and some would say it's the most controversial video of all time.
Sex sells, and Madonna knows this but she mixed two big things that are't really to be mixed. Sex and religion.
