Research into transaction types.

By looking at a number of different music videos we have a few ideas of different types of transactions that we could use. For example our main focus will be on using lots of cuts that fit in with the beats of the song.

Other than this there are occasions throughout the song where dissolves can be used. For example, we could dissolve out from one location to another to make the change less dramatic, or we could dissolve out when close ups are used. By using the dissolve transition is give you the sense of passing time and changing location which is why this would be a good transition for our video.

Another transition that we could use in our music video is a wipe. This transition would be good especially if it was used in a shot where the model is walking across the screen. For example this would work really well if we use a shot where the model is walking straight across the shot, either from the left or the right. I think if we could edit this shot so that it also match's in with the beats of the music. For example in the Rihanna Rude Boy video, I really like the edit at the start where she is walking across the screen and she stops but is almost fast forwarded and re-winded for a minute.

 There are many different transitions that we could use in our video so we will look into using some of the ones I've mentioned and see how they look in with the music and also how they fit into the video.
