Carol Vernallis

Vernallis' Ideas on Editing and Camera Work in Music Videos
  • Edits in music videos come much more frequently than in film.
  • Jump cuts are often used.
  • Camera often moves in time with the music.
  • Usual rules of "continuity editing" (usually found in classic broadcast fiction), are broken in order to draw attention to what is on screen.
  • A master shot (basetrack) is frequently used to give the video a structure.
  • Edits may be really obvious to draw attention to themselves, such as wipes and special effects.
