Editing ideas for music video

One idea we have for our editing is to make some of our footage grayscale, so that it suits the conventions of a rock genre music video, this is because it will make the screen appear darker and dull which will suit the mood we want to create and complement the atmosphere of the rock music.

As our song is fairly upbeat and quite fast beats, we want to have a lot we sudden and unexpected jump cuts so that the music video fits with the song style. The jump cuts will either show one musician to another or show the same footage from a different angle or shot type to add more variation and to make the video more interesting for the audience.

At the very beginning of our music video there will be a slow and steady zoom used from the close-up of the guitar to a long shot. We therefore will probably use slow motion one this part of the footage, to elongate the zooming out and to make the camera movement more steady.
