music video research 8: editing focus (Hey ya! by Outkast)

editing techniques

• cuts to the crowd between lines
• cycles between close-ups of the band leading up to the first chorus
• clap signals transitional to a black and white tv
• we see some footage before it transitions to a wide shot of a family living room where everyone is dancing
• it transitions back to the tv 4 seconds later to showcase each of the band members and their names with close-up shots
• after that it transitions to two consecutive close up shots of the kids in living room dancing
• transitions back to the tv for a brief pause in the music
• signalling by the man playing the keyboard, the music kicks in again and the camera cuts to the crowd
• cuts between the band and the crowd  during the lyrics
• this ultimately leads to one of the fangirls running on stage and grabbing the lead singer's arm 
• we see the security guard drag her off him in a wide shot of the band
• several seconds later we cut to a shot of the backstage where the guard is carrying the woman out
• cuts to the camera turning around to the audience then it transitions to the tv view of them
• still in tv view, it cuts back to the band
• close up of the drummer returns the view to the live performance
