Editing Techniques

*Continuity Shots- Used throughout the video clip as the events are happening in a chronological oreder e.g: when she walks down the aisle, then looks at the other man, then runs away from her hsuband to be and leaves him at the aisle.

*Flashback- At 1.32minutes, there is a flashback shot of the man she loves throwing a bunch of flowers towards her. Its also been edited to be in black and white to show that it is in the past.

*Eye-line Match-
At 2.17minute, as she turns around to look at her "lover" the camera meets the eyeline of mariah and her "lover" through this shot, this is used to establish the connection between the pair.

*Parellel Editing-
This is used just about thorughout the whole of the firt minute of the music video of mariah in the shower crying over whats happened then the shot cuts back to what is actually happening like for instance her "lover" sitting outside the wedding and the little girl sprinkling the flowers down the aisle.
