This technical analysis was vital in researching and planning for our own music video. I was able to see the vast amount of shots needed to fill a music video due to the fast cutting rate. In the past, i have done techincal anylsis' for the opening of a film, which was drastically different in the way that the cutting rate is slower to convey suspense whereas music videos tend have busier shots and use a larger variety of different shots, cutting between performance and narrative.
