Jump Cuts
Use jump cuts creatively to break time and space, adding a sense of urgency or disorientation. This technique is effective for high-energy tracks or when the song has unexpected changes in tempo.
In this very early version of the jump cut, contemporary audiences were introduced to a new way of time passage in film.
Montage Sequences: Cut on Action
A montage that uses cut on action can be used to show a progression, or build emotional intensity. This is especially useful for portraying a character's transformation or journey.
The basic idea of cutting for action is that the editor cuts from one shot to another and matches the action of the shots, or makes some connection between the shots.
Motion & Movement: Capture movement in an exaggerated or stylized way (e.g., spinning the camera around a character to show disorientation, or using slow-motion to emphasize specific actions like a character’s sigh).

Color Grading: Use color grading to enhance the mood. Warm tones (reds, oranges) can evoke passion or happiness, while cooler tones (blues, greens) can create a somber or mysterious atmosphere.
