Carol Vernallis studied editing and camera work closely in music videos. She found that edits are used a lot more frequently in music video compared to films and that they stand out as disjuncture and that the editing seems to have a rhythmic basis closely connected to the song. The main points of Carol's observation are:
Edits may be very obvious to draw attention to themselves such as special effects
The rule of continuity editing are broken in order to bring attention to what is on the screen
Jump cuts are often used
The camera may move in time with the music
In this Missy Elliott music video, we see all of the points Carol made.
Hi Atilla You have chosen some really good examples of videos that show theory - but it would be great if you can find a way of showing specific details for specific aspects of the theories in future posts e.g: here is an example of slow motion..... but good start mary
