Research into Music Videos -- Carol Vernallis

Carol Vernallis
- The kindest cut: functions and meanings of music videos.
famine approach.
editing styles blend.
discursive form.

Classic Continuity - (Bordwell - 1987)
further narrative.
limited taxonomy of shot types to 'naturalise' movement from shot to shot.
narrow set of editing possibilities - shot reverse shot.
preserve the flow of time, cohearance and space.
single clear and constant story.


Montage
narrative not key.
expressive frames, angles and shots joined by colour.
varity of editing - jump cuts and conflict.
discontinuity rather than continuity in time and space.
viewer challenged to extrapolate meanings and formulate 'new' ideas.
