Planning: Editing Techniques


·       Editing is extremely important as it contributes to putting all the pieces of the production together to create a conventional, professional product. Various editing techniques enable the audience to experience a variety of emotions throughout the music video. Editing and transitions allows our music video look more professional as it is more neat and organised to watch. We ensured we were able to contribute Goodwin’s theory into our final product by making sure the editing was in sync with the pace of the song.

1) Cloning: This will be used to show the character doing various things inside the gym. This also enables the audience to gather a clear understanding of how much time he’s spending inside the gym as he tries to release his anger after the argument that took place within the couple.

2) Reaction shot: We will be cooperating the reaction shot during the argument scenes that will occur within the couple. This allows the audience to realise what emotions each character is experiencing during the events occurring. For example it will clearly highlight that the male character is angry and extremely aggressive towards the female character as he tries to show his dominance.

3) Fast paced editing: This will be used during the chorus of the song as the up beat, fast beat is at its peak which allows us to involve Goodwin’s theory of ensuring the editing visuals are in sync with the paste of the song.

4) Slow paced editing: On the other hand the slow paced editing will be used to highlight the positive events, which occurred within the couples relationship. This will allow the audience to contrast between the past and the present.

5) Jump cuts: Will be used to highlight the male character taking out his anger inside the gym. It will also enable the visuals to be in sync with the beat whilst at its peak which allows the audience to experience the male characters ‘wild trip’ within the gym.

  1. Good evidence of planning editing here in your video. Clear that you have thought about the song and what editing techniques will be relevant and where.
