Videos seemingly shot in one take
Contains several edits disguised by dissolves, particularly when the camera is pointing down at the ground and the dissolves are less noticeable due to motion blur.
The video was spliced together from two separate takes. The cut between the two happens when the camera turns away from the face of guitarist, and singer on this track, The Edge and the cut was hidden by having smoke blowing in from the side of the frame.
One shutter camera cut at 5:26 at the end of the video
The video contains several cuts when the camera tilts down, transitioning into another shot when it tilts up again.
Although often cited as an example of a one shot video, it actually contains several cuts to reverse angles and close ups and is not one long take. There are in fact about 50 cuts in the video.
In a Channel 4, documentary discussing the Greatest Pop Videos of all time, the director Kevin Godley revealed that it was filmed in 3 shots, each shot transition hidden by a lens flare.[3]
The video editing process is the same as "Virtual Insanity" by Jamiroquai.
The music video, directed by Michel Gondry, features a continuous shot filmed.
The video is seemingly one continuous shot, chaos ensues in an art gallery.
The video is one seemingly continuous shot through a kaleidoscopic tunnel of mirrored black, white and red triangles.
The video appears to be one shot but features several cuts where the camera pans upwards to birds flying in the sky.
At the end of the video it has four cuts.
Hidden cuts during camera moves.
Hidden cuts from swift camera movement.
The video makes use of split screen cinematography and camera effects for the transition of scenes, meaning Cheryl and will.i.am do not come into physical contact.
In interviews, band member Damian Kulash and visual designer Hector Alvarez both admit to a cut at 2:27 when the curtain opens.[4]
The video is a long take until near the end, when a few cuts are introduced.

Though the video, involving the band using parabolic flight from reduced gravity aircraft to simulate micro-gravity, is from one long 40-45 minute shot, periods when the band is not in micro-gravity were trimmed from the final product.
The video drastically slows down playback of about 4.2 seconds of actions that take place in real-time. However, to capture the amount of action, the band had to use multiple high-speed cameras on the same mounted system, their respective footage stitched together to compose the final video.
The video contains cut at 1:35, also several cuts near the end of the video.
The video editing process is the same as "Virtual Insanity" by Jamiroquai and "Love at First Sight" by Kylie Minogue.
