In order to improve our understanding of how music videos are put together, we analysed the first 45 seconds of ''The Pretender'' just to see how many different shots were used, as well as their length.
We then drew a story board of each shot and synced it up with the original video of ''The Pretender''
By doing this we learnt that music videos can contain over a hundred shots that last for less than two seconds each, in order to create a fast paced effect. This also discourages us from using overly lengthy shots as it makes the video way less interesting.
There is a difference between editing a thriller and a music video, this difference is that in a thriller it is acceptable to use longer length shots, as long as you do it correctly.
Similarly to a thriller, you need to keep in mind the pacing of the scene and the audio, and base your editing speed on this. If The Pretender was not such a fast and up beat song, the pace of editing in the video would be a lot slower.
