This screenshot is an example of one of the most common editing techniques - cutting. This involves splitting a clip at a defined location allowing the editor to move and manipulate the two parts of the clip separately. This is especially helpful in our video as our performance were filmed as a series of one shot playthroughs (we played through the song with the camera constantly rolling and moving), and this allowed us to split it up into the parts we want which we can then interpose with our non-performance footage as we see fit.
In this case, we are splitting up a clip which moves from the close-up of the bass seen here to a mid shot of the drummer and finally to a mid shot of the lead singer and back again.
The shot itself is a close-up of the bassist's hands as he plays, with shallow focus on the guitar and strings. We used the blue colour and tone throughout the performance.
