Sound video






This video includes contrapuntal and parallel sound where both the clips are choreography. The first clip is parallel and is from the TV programme 'Fresh Prince of Bel-air' where Carlton is dancing to an upbeat song (unusual - Tom Jones) which I edited over the clip. The second clip is from Chris Browns music video where I edited over the song Mad World by Gary Jules, which makes it contrapuntal as it isn't the music you would expect to go with this type of dance video.

It allows one shot to suddenly end and the next shot to abruptly come onto the screen. It also allows unnecessary footage to be removed or shortened) to the three characters in the films and then the shots then speed up which makes the viewer more engaged. The music helps build up the intensity of the scene, which could not have been added if it were not for editing. The shots start of being quite distant from the character but then begin to get closer, the change from...
