Vernalis's Theory

Vernallis found that in music videos showed more edits than in film.  Editing is usually in time with the song.


Vernallis Points were:

• Music Videos often use really obvious edits which draws attention to its self this can be done by using special effects and wipes.
• Music Videos ignores continuity editing to always draw attention to new shots.
• Base Tracks are standard in music videos which give it structure and is use with jump cuts.
• Camera movement is done in time with the music

 Ellie Goulding Starry Eyed follows Vernalis's Theory.
Throughout the music video the special effects were obvious and noticeable for example the star constellation surrounding Ellie as she walks away and the bright lights in the transitions.
Base tracks were also used the main ones being Ellie singing in a cave and her walking with the male.
The video also has allot of jump cuts as she changes location as she sings.
