Applying theories to a selected music video



To explore the concept of continuity and montage editing further, I was asked to analyse a selected music video and comment on the continuity and montage editing used.Along with the help of my group we managed to come up with a number of points from the video for 'Sugar Water' by 'Cibomatto'.

Continuity

- One continuous shot troughout (simple)
- Each character is followed through a narrative
- Chronological (time) order
- No elaborate locations used, 3 main ones

Montage

- Interesting choice of effects (split screen, reverse shot)
- Abstract (Characters are in reverse in a split screen)
- Right hand split screen mirrored
- Messages for the audience ("You Killed Me")
- One long stedicam shot, with many different angles used throughout (sometimes close up, sometimes midshot)
