Example of the intercutting sequence

By completing this shot analysis I have found some videos use longer shots but increase the speed in smaller sequences to give interesting sections to the video elevating both aesthetics and narrative. The shots vary to present characters in the video and impose the band onto other shots creating a double shot.
