Editing Techniques Paramore - The Only Exception

This music video starts with Hayley sleeping next to a man on a sofa, suggesting a loving happy atmosphere of harmony. when hayley wakes up, using a jump cut from a closeup of them on a sofa to an establishing shot as she gets up off the sofa and slowly zooms back in on hayley, which then uses a jump cut to a low angle close up of Hayley writing a letter, which could portray power to the audience which then uses a jump cut again to the 'Im Sorry' written on the letter which cross cuts so when the camera is back to Hayley, she's walking out of the room.

as she is about to leave the room she stops and the camera uses the cutaway technique to show us she is looking at the man still asleep on the sofa before turning away and exiting the room, suddenly the camera cuts to the other room with her father in, which jump cuts to a flashback of her hugging her Father, and when their embrace ends it jump cuts again to Hayley looking at a picture, which then jump cuts to an establishing shot of the room with her standing looking at the photo and her father sitting at the table looking at her as she sits down. there are a few jump cuts of Hayley and her Father talking until she embraces him with a hug again, which jump cuts again to show the whole room as Hayley leaves her dad to walk through the second door, which directly leads to her bedroom, jump cutting to her putting the picture she was looking at on her mirror, which jump cuts again to a zoomed in shot of the picture on the mirror of her mother and father with the focus blurring in and out of the picture and hayleys reflection in the mirror.
