Editing research

Before putting my footage together I have done some research into the common conventions of editing in music videos. I will include these techniques in my final product to represent indie music videos and how they are usually edited.
The most commonly used  editing techniques I found were:
  • Jump cut 
  • Match cut
  • Cut 
  • Cross-cutting (so I can go back and forth from narrative and performance footage)  
  • Fade-in/fade-out

I also found this useful website which includes hints and tips which will come in handy when editing my music video: www.aboutvideoediting.com
