Editing including any SFX


 The editing is comprised of many jump-cuts that seem to differ between very unique scenes that have seemingly no relation to each other than the fact that there are women on the screen.
 There is also a very high cutting rate, that doesn't slow down very much. They also use slow motion in some parts to put emphasis on certain points.




 This could represent that no matter who the women is or what they are doing - they are just as strong as each other and they are all equal. This however goes out of its way to not diminish the overall message of women being strong by showing that they are strong together but also strong and empowered alone.
Sound- diegetic, non-diegetic, narration etc.
There is loud encouraging music that is dominated by a symphony of women's vocals. It differs between being quiet and then becoming loud again.



 The music is non- diegetic but it picks up and slows down in time with the empowering voice. The fact that the music is almost working with the voice is reinforced when you take into account that vocals in the music, were comprised of women. As well as this, within the song the vocals are much higher and louder than the instruments and sounds; this could show how powerful and empowered women are. This almost makes the music have qualities of being diegetic or it could be seen as the power of 'women' being strong enough to break the fourth wall.
Mise-en-scene: location, costume, props, lighting
