Research: Carol Vernallis

Carol Vernallis says about editing:
- Editing may match the musical phrases or the beat
- The video may break or disrupt many of the 'rules' of continuity editing
- Editing may become foregrounded. The editing may be really obvious, to draw attention to themselves. 

For example, you may see:
- Jump cuts
- Cutting against the movement 
- Fancy edits or cuts
- Cutting between the lyrics
- Extreme changes in pace

Carol also has a lot to say about camera movement and framing: 
- When it comes to shot types, extremes are very common
- The camera may move in time with the music
- The camera may move on the lyrics 
- The master shot is used frequently, as are other close ups. 

Carol Vernallis looks like this: 
















The video by 'Just Jack' called 'Stars In Their Eyes' follows her theory. It frequently cuts away from the lyrics to a different scene in the video. Take a look:
