As mentioned my video will centre around witchcraft and the supernatural. This inspiration comes from the current rise of success of TV shows featuring such concepts; Buffy, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, The Secret Circle etc.
There has also been an increase in the amount of people basing their music around the notion of witchcraft too - this all has had mixed responses.
This Screenshot shows a comment left on a song called 'Santified' - one of the other comments also refers to The Originals (one of the TV shows based around Witches, Vampires, Werewolves and hybrids of all 3).
In terms of Buffy, the character was 16 when the show started and it ran for 7 seasons leading Buffy to be 23 years old by the end. Due to the long run, the audiences grew up with the show, hence the reason for the age range of the TV show to be 16-34.
In terms of the other 3 shows; The Vampire Diaries, The Originals and The Secret circle, they are all linked and share, relatively the same audience. The Vampire Diaries was the first to air out of all 3 and was originally a book written by L.J Smith, the same author wrote the books The Secret Circle which led to that franchise being made into a TV show. Lastly, The Originals is a spin off of The Vampire Diaries portraying where it all began with the original family of Vampires, Witches and Werewolves.
Referring back to the screenshot - as you can tell, not everyone is impressed with the popularity of the supernatural, despite this, it continues to rise, especially with the coupled rise of New Religious Movements. The song this was left on, was by The Veronicas, whom I have heavily based my artist on.
