Research for editing skills

Hi guys.. quick update time! In terms of editing, the music video is going great. We are working efficiently both independantly and as a team to get the music video done as soon as possible but to the best standard. We know as a group the overall theme we are going for, meaning we are able to edit separately in our free time and don't always need to be as a group; this makes it a lot easier for us as we can get the video done in a quicker time gap in comparison to our previous work together - last years thriller opening - which took a lot longer as we mainly only edited when the whole group was present.

The video only has around 20 seconds left of editing to finish before we have a full sequence finished for the whole time length of the song. However, we may also go back in and change some areas or add certain effects if we feel it would make it better.

Anyway, I'm rambling! The whole point of this post was firstly, to give you a quick update and secondly, show you what I have been researching about. My research has consisted of a watching a lot of YouTube tutorials (easiest to learn from) along with reading articles and step by step methods on how to create an effect I want. The effect is based around a 'glitch' effect which I want to use multiple times throughout the video. I feel it will create a bit more interest through the middle of the video, as at the moment, I think the start and end to the music video are currently the best parts. 

The glitch effect will go in-between shots of the artist, Eloise, in a happy environment and then in a sad state to represent a great contrast of her feelings. The shots of Eloise upset will be have smeared lipstick on and her eye makeup ruined to show she has been crying, and the glitch effect will go just before these shots to create more emphasis on the shots and show their meaning. Here are some of the websites I used to help me create a glitch of my own. (Giving all credit to these for helping us):
