Editing techniques

When creating the music video I used a number of different editing techniques to achieve the final product. The Black and white is connotes the old and maybe even a hint of depression but when it lifts to colour it makes the audience thing that the protagonist is moving on.

I have also used other techniques such as split screen where the same image is on the screen at the same time. This technique is used simply to keep the audience interested and this is one of the most important things.

Finally I have also used shot transitions such as fades and the reason for this is that if there is a extreme change in the image then i have used a fade down then up again to the new scene. In one instance I have also used it when a straight cut between two scenes looked out of place.
