What is editing?
Putting together film, video clips together, while adding
special effects and sound.
Transitions
These are way that shots are joined together.
The most common transitions is a straight cut – where a shot
continues straight into the next shot.
Keeps continuity.
Dissolve
A gradual transition from one shot to another, can help
continuity show a move from one location to another, indicates that time has
passed.
Fade to black/white
One shot fades to black/white. Can show time passing or
flashbacks.
Cross-cutting
Action cuts between two sequences to link parallels or
contrasts between storylines and their settings. Can create tension.

When does the shot change?
The shot changes either when there is an important line in
the song being sung (where it zooms in n the singer) or when there is a break
in the song, where the camera focuses on the other band members or the crowd.
What is the effect of the editing?
The effect of the editing shows the emotion created during
the song, both for the audience and band. The pace of editing is slow at the
beginning and end, and reasonably fast during the middle. This creates the
effect of momentum and paces out the song, splitting it into three defined
sections, when is backed up by the piano playing in the intro and outro. The
straight cuts between the audience and the band shows the connection between
them, and therefore between the band and us.
How fast/slow is the editing?
The pace of the editing was quite slow during in the verses,
and sped up during the chorus. This is
to signify to the viewer that the chorus is important and the build-up before
it has culminated in the chorus.
