10 seconds in, you will begin to see some of the editing techniques that I plan to use for my video. The opening shot of scene 20 (When Justin meets the Dealer) opens with the character of Justin, played by Louis Blakeney who will also play Chris Cornell, blurred. Throughout the video this artificial blurring technique is used to give the scene a grungy, hobbyist-artistic look while emphasising what parts of the screen the viewer should be watching.
This is technique I plan to use in the music video for You Know My Name: artificially blurring shots in post, combined with in-camera depth of field, to indicate what to look at during the live performance shots - this can be done using After Effects.
The scene above relies on shot-reverse-shot to convey the narrative - this will obviously not appear in the music video as there is no conversation.
As the video is not narrative, ellipsis is unlikely to make an appearance - ellipsis being the skipping large, dull chunks of narrative to keep up the pace of a film.
However other techniques will be to use various textures of shots - slower verses will be edited to put pitches and pans, tracks and tilts together while the more lively chorus will almost certainly use shoulder-rig footage to achieve a smooth handheld look which can immerse the viewer in the moment. However using very stable footage in the chorus can also emphasise what I call the awesome moments in the song - these are often at the beginning or ends of lines in the chorus.
