    The application of which style of Video Editing is dependent on what you are editing for, if you are creating a commercial you are likely to create either a Animatitive or a Proffessional style Video, as these are the most well suited styles for high end, proffessional looking videos.

    Professional

    Proffessionally styled videos are usually high budget promotional videos done to market a product, these are usually found in commercials or ads on tv, youtube and etc. These proffessionally styled videos are done with a minimalistic intention, however what seperates them from minimilistic styling is their attention to detail as well as smooth effects, that may seem over the top, fit right in with the video when correctly applied.

    Minimalistic

    Minimalistic style editing is a style of editing that is used when the intention of the video is to showcase the footage, this is usually done in compilation videos (montages of clips) or product showcasing, where the primary focus of the editing is to only enhance the visuals of the current video, this includes trimming unneeded footage or adding basic colour correcttion
