-Keeps continuity and pace in the film

1.When does the shot change
2.What is the effect of the editing
3.How fast/ slow is the editing


 The shot changes quite often onto different band members every few seconds.
The editing which includes jump shots would keep the audience engaged with the music video. The pace of the editing at the begining of the video is slow effect which gives you a chance to see what is going on and what are their surroundings. There is also a contrast between the type of pace used.
