Planning: Editing

For my music video I will be using these editing techniques to add effect and help make the video different and appealing.

Here are some of the editing techniques I will use and reasons as to why I have decided to use that specific technique.


1) Jump cut: My group decided to use the jump cut technique because we agreed it would look good with our couple. We thought that jump cuts show a disruption in time and it represents the couples relationship really well because they go through hectic times.

2) Slow editing: For this technique we wanted to follow Goodwin's theory by allowing the editing to match the pace of the song. The song is very slow and chilled and I feel that the slow paced editing will work well. I can use it when we see the couple arguing, the school girl being laughed at or the artists interacting. 

3) Rewind: The rewind technique our group thought would work well with the stars. For example when the rapper is dancing we could show him doing a move and the rewind the move. There is an actual lyric that says "beat rewinds" and we thought it would be a great idea to use rewind editing for that moment.

4)White flash: This technique will be used when we see the artists interact with each other. We thought this because the white would give a great effect of purity and peace and that's how we want our stars portrayed to match the song.

5) Slow motion: I thought it would be a good idea to use slow motion when we see the artist dancing or lip syncing. This will be used because it really highlights key events in the music video.


Conclusion:
All these editing technique have been decided by my group to help make our music video look as professional and consistent as possible. We believe that all these editing techniques will make help the audience gain more understanding of the narratives and stars.
