Conspiracy Theory Edit (1st minute montage/introduction)

As an assignment, a 5 minute edit about a conspiracy theory must be assembled and convince the audience of its legitimacy. The edit must also show off the different techniques and elements learned over the past semester.

The chosen conspiracy theory is The Reptilian Elite and its ties with the illuminati. It's about how shapeshifting reptiles are secretly behind most of the major events in the world. They're a secret society, that are master of puppets, slowly trying to enslave mankind. So, for this assignment, the objective is to convince the viewer.

So far, there has been a minutes worth of the five minute limit assembled. This is essentially the opening for the conspiracy theory. It sets up the stage for information on The Reptilian Elite and gives a glimpse of what atrocities they were behind and who they are. The clip opens with an interview with US president Barack Obama. In said interview, Obama mentions the "Reptilians". The scene then quickly cuts to black and then follows a montage of different quick cuts of major events/disasters/attacks. i.e. 9/11, shots of bombs dropping, soldiers in conflict. Every so often there are clips from John Carpenter's "They Live", where it shows stores as just brainwashing people in with capitalism.

This accentuates that the Reptiles are enslaving us and suppressing us through means such as capitalism. All the while Rage Against the Machine's song "Wake Up" plays over the scenes at hand. It emphasises the control they have over us and how we need to "wake up" to it. Inbetween these shots are images of figureheads with reptile eyes and lizards.  The montage then ends on a clip from They Live where OBEY is plastered all along a convenience store.

This is the edit at the moment. The next step is introducing a brief history of the origins of the reptilians, who are reptiles (figureheads) and their ultimate endgame.
