This is the music video for the song 'Five Colours in her Hair' by McFly.



Editing


This clip shows how the shots in the music video were cut to the beat of the song, which makes the music video easier for audiences to watch. This is typical for a pop music video because the energy of the video is very quick and happy which is matched by the editing, and the shots are cut to the beat.


This clip shows how the cuts and the overall editing slows down as the music does, which shows the audience that for this part of the song, there is a change in the mood of the song. Once the song changes mood again, the editing speeds up to match the pace of the song.
