Masks
Each member has their own unique style of mask, of which have been upgraded from album to album, these are the masks the band have used up to today. Some masks have a meaning to them whilst others are just for looks.

• Johnny 3 Tears: The number 3 represents his previous band known as '3 Tears', whilst the butterfly is a reference to the book 'Paradise Lost'.
• Funny Man: His mask recently refers to the Mexican Lucha Libre, as a sign that he is Mexican related.
• Danny: His mask bared the Christian cross, showing that he is of Christian faith or belief.

Names Each member has their own band name, each with a reason:

• J-Dog: From his initials 'Jorel Decker'.
• Johnny 3 Tears: Johnny being a name he likes, and 3 Tears was the band he was in before Hollywood Undead.
• Charlie Scene: A mix up with Charlie Sheen in order to cause confusion, and Charlie Sheen admitted to being a big fan.
• Funny Man: Meant to be ironic. As Charlie Scene explained in the Desperate Measures interviews, Alvarez was given the name because "he was so un-funny, it was funny"
• Da Kurlzz: Due to his curly hair.
• Danny: His literal name.
• Deuce: Shortened from 'Tha Producer', he was the bands producer.
• Shady Jeff: His real name is Jeff

 

(The first video is the one I am talking about)
I looked at this video for ideas about our editing, ignoring the fact that it is a different genre. In the video the editing is very fast to match the beat but also the lyrics. There is a new different shot on each word or every few. It is a very good exmaple of what we need to consider for the editing style in our video.
