Editing of shots

In the editing phase, we will be focusing on having fast, quick-paced shots. The reasons for this being that it follows suit with the music of this genre (metalcore), and it will enable us to create a sense of urgency within the video, helping it to comply with the lyrics.

Composition of shot's

For the composition of the video, we believe that it would look most striking and relevant to have the video in a black and white style. However, during the editing stage we will evaluate how this looks, and if it is suitable to our video. If it is not, we always have the option to keep the colour, or to fade the contrast of the video.

Take a look at this video by metalcore band The Architects, which features a low contrast in their shots for the video.

The editing of this video is also very important to consider. All of the edits are no longer than 2-3 seconds, creating a fast paced, relentless video. Seeing as the music of our band Fear The Unknown is similar in style to this, it is important to consider having our editing style similar to this.
