From analysing this music video I have learnt that you don’t have to use every different editing knowledge you know for instance throughout this video dissolves was never used only straight cuts which I thought worked really well as the music video is a very fast paced and energetic video which keeps the viewer entertained.

I also realized that the pace of the video wasn't the same all the way through as for instance at the start it started off slow with a 3 second edit which in this video was seen to be a long shot length as the majority of the sequence was 1 seconds shots which demonstrated a lot of quick and thrilling cuts which was suitable for the track as it was very upbeat.

Also I learnt that because the music video was such a different a unique idea it kept in the audiences mind and to this day people would still remember the track ‘Call on me’ as the music video is so different so for my music video I want to take this into consideration as I want people to remember it as a good video and a well-directed one also as the filming for this video was very thought out as I realized that they didn't just use a normal dance studio they used one with a mirror which was a great idea as they was able to film not only the front of the dancers but the back as well.
