Editing Music Video

In today's lesson we focussed on creating effects for our music video. The editing techniques we incorporated was cutting to the beat, reversing a shot and a 'film dissolve'. These were used to link with some of the lyrics heard as the effect is shown - "wish you could reverse" - shot is reversed, "I was on the fricking train" - film dissolve of a train going by as artist lip syncs and fast flickering so it cuts to the beat as the beat increases during the chorus.
