Planning for Music Video: Analysis of Original Video

This video uses a variety of editing techniques such as split screen, wipe transitions and is fast paced. The beginning of the music video which develops into 16 split screens is something we want to try and experiment with and hopefully use in our music video. However our idea to also use the same 16 split screens at the end of the music video, and make sure that they disappear one my one into a blank/black frame. That's how we want to conclude the video.

Mumford and Sons - Hopeless Wanderer

There are many split screen jump cut shots through out the video. Several ideas that we have come up with:

• instead of using split screen shots of a variety of people, we will use 5+ locations of the artist



Mumford and Sons - Hopeless Wanderer

• instead of dancing frames use a variety of slow motion shots of the artist in a field and/or open space (the influence for that had been Mumford and Sons - Hopeless Wanderer )
• 
  

Another idea that we have considered is the opening for the music video, which was also influenced by Mumford and Sons - Hopeless Wanderer to 'Present' the song. However the genre of Kickstarts is electro/hip hop/dubstep and this style opening will not be appropriate for the target audience.
