Task 3: Understanding key techniques in music videos

This post is going to be about different thing you can do in editing in music videos.

Cut to the Beat

This is shows where the edit has taken place. The markers are where the beats changes. The makers help you know when to edit. You can see that where the markers are there ha been a change in shot, you have to make sure that it is a clear change so that it can make the shots can link with the music. Depending on what you want to music video to be about this can be really important. I think that this can really get the audience really interested in the music video because the changes can catch your attention, for example if there is a drum fill that a band has made then they edit different shots to the beat of the drums then that would really stand out.

Split screen

Split screen is very useful because it can show two different parts at the same time. This means that you can be really creative about what you are doing.
