Editing Techniques

Recently I have been watching music videos closely andf picking out the interesting editing techniques that I would like to include in our own music video. For example, whilst watching Drake - Headlines I noticed the use of split screens and I think it looks really creative, adds an edge and makes it more interesting so I thought it would be a good idea for me to post it on my blog not only because I like the song and the artist but also because of the techniques used in the music video. I will be practising this effect with a software called Final Cut Express to see whether or not I will be able to create a split screen effect by watching 'how to' videos on YouTube.
