She observed editing and camerawork closely in music videos. She observed that edits in music videos come much more frequently than in a film, that many stand out as a disjuncture and that the editing seems to have a rhythmic basis closely connected to the song.
She came to a summary of these points:
- editing stands out as disjuncture and the usual rules of continuity editing are broken in order to bring attention to what is on the screen
- edits may be really obvious to draw attention to themselves, such as wipes and special effects
Example- This video by Mark Ronson is a clear example of obvious edits as it includes many special effects such as sparks shooting out and edits like split screens and wipes
- Jump cuts are often used
- Base tracks are frequently used to give the video structure
Example- This video by Tinie Tempah has over 18 base tracks
- The camera may move in time with the music
