EDITING STYLES

BY ALEX NEWELL

The video to the left focuses on some of the editing styles seen within typical indie rock music videos. This includes the focus and cropping of shots on specific elements of the video, for example, as seen in the last video clip of The 1975, there is a focus on the instruments. Again this is also seen in the first clip of the Strokes. In the clip of Royal Blood, editing is used to match the pace of the film to the pace of the song itself. Within the video this is done through the sudden switches from a blue to red or red to blue overlay on the video, which also adds depth and movement to the video as you can see from the changes in thigns such as posters and what the viewer can see.
