Bordwell and Thompsons four categories of editing

Graphic
Draws upon mise en scene and cinematography,
Graphic match – linking shots by graphic similarities,
Graphic continuity – centre of interest constant throughout the cuts
Graphic discontinuity – juxtaposition of centre of interest.

Rhythmic
Considers the duration of each shot.

Spatial
Mise en scene – how it is established.

Temporal
To do with time – is it like a film ? is it in chronological order ?

This is Bordwell and Thompsons four categories of editing which gives me some ideas on the editing i can use when i edit my music video.
