Synopsis for music video

The video will be about me - as the protagonist - interacting with the general public. I will talking to strangers, being an average teen in Essex. The camera will follow me around various locations in different outfits, times & weather conditions etc.

The style of the video will be authentic and genuine feeling almost as if we’ve stepped inside another person’s world for the day

EDITING TO THE EYES *_*

If the subject is moving - you’re moving. When this is executed, edits feel invisible for the viewer to fully immerse them in the film.

*Kuleshov Effect

The Kuleshov effect is a film editing effect coined by Soviet film-maker Lev Kuleshov in the 1910s. It’s a mental phenomenon by which viewers get more meaning from the interaction of two sequential shots (before and after) than from a single shot alone.

L & J Cut

Cuts & Transitions 

Cutting in action - a cut that is done in the middle of an action. The shot changes to a different angle when the character that the viewer has most focus on is in a middle of an action.

Cutaway - the inserting of a shot that AWAY from the main scene. The interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cut back to the first shot, when the cutaway avoids a jump cut.

Cross-cutting - to show something happening in two different locations. The camera will cross cut away from one action to another action. This way of editing often creates suspense and tension. It can also suggest the simultaneity of these two actions 

Jump cut - two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly if at all. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time. 

Match cut - a cut from one shot to another where the two shots are matched by the action or subject and subject matter. [Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI82hsBrq8w ]

Fade In / Fade Out - the image slowly disappears/appears. Fade is a type of dissolve effect.

Dissolve - In the post-production process of film editing and video editing, a dissolve is a gradual transition from one image to another. This is in contrast to a cut where there is no such transition.

Smash cut - one scene abruptly cuts to another

Wipe - one shot replaces another by travelling from one side of the frame to another or with a special shape. If the wipe proceeds from two opposite edges of the screen toward the centre or vice versa, it is known as a barn door wipe.

Invisible cut -  Like the match cut, the invisible cut attempts to join two shots with similar frames together. Shots are arranged in a sequence to suggest a progression of events.

L cut - a variant of a split edit film editing technique in which the audio from preceding scene overlaps the picture from the following scene, so that the audio cuts after the picture, and continues playing over the beginning of the next scene. 

J cut - the audio from a following scene overlaps the picture from the preceding scene, so that the audio portion of the later scene starts playing before its picture as a lead-in to the visual cut. Also called an audio lead or audio advance
