Temporal Editing

This is basically the manipulation of story time considering the order of events, the duration and the frequency.

This type of editing is used well when things like flashbacks and flash-forwards are shown. The plot can be altered by use of ellipsis.

Ellipsis includes punctuation, empty frames(this is when a figure moves out of one frame and is seen moving into the next frame. It also includes cutaways. This is when the attention is taking off the main point in the video (normally the lead singer) and something less important and sometimes random is shown just to mix up the video and make it more interesting.
