The following links provide examples of how the different types of editing are used within music videos, and what these various editing methods typically connote to within the world of media.
1) Straight cut
This is the most commonly used form of editing, and simply cuts from one subject to another, often during conversation. The example below is from...
2) Fade to black
The fade can either come from up or down and is usually a way of getting from one scene to another. The example below is from Beyonce's If I Were A Boy. It cuts from a scene within the car to a different scene in a bedroom.
3)Dissolve
This is a way of transporting a subject, either in place or time, and is a temperal edit method. The example below is from...
4) Continuity editing
This gives the viewer a continuous narrative of a moving subject, often reflected when a character leaves a room and the camera switches between these two places. The example below is from Britney Spears' 'Till The World Ends'. The camera, at first, follows through the ground upwards, and later follows the people as they drop through the manhole into the underground.
5) Cross cutting
This is a way of expressing narrative through something different, for example showing the reaction of somebody not present within the main setting. The example below is from Rihanna's 'Man Down'. It cross cuts between the rape itself and the aftermath, at the waterfall.
