Film Opening VS Music Video Prelim

From making our preliminary task, it is already hugely obvious some of the differences between making a music video and a film opening.

The main difference, I found, is the style of editing. Editing to the beat is massively important as I feel like it helps for the video to flow well and match to the music. As pointed out by Andrew Goodwin, 'editing to the beat' is essential for a music video as it forms a relationship with music and visuals. In our AS coursework, we had a small introduction to editing to the beat, as there are 2 titles which appear when the music changes; though not essential to the film opening, it would definitely be an important factor to a music video. As this is such an important factor, it will require much more planning in regards to shot length and pace of shots than our film opening did.
