Research: Music Video

The footage in this video has had it's speed manipulated in order to gain a slow motion effect. This is a useful and powerful editing technique as it builds the tension as it makes the audience feel as if they are waiting for a big impact, as well as allowing to focus on detail. I will use this effect in my video in order to display how the protagonist's life is at a standstill and also to connote the length of time he spends drinking and smoking.
