After doing this task I have realised that there are many short shots that I need to be aware of for my video, I need to include a lot of 2 - 3 second shots in my video to make it look convincing as a real music video. I also need to be aware that it isn't just short shots, the long shots are incredibly long such as the first two: '00:00:12' and '00:00:33'.
