-Constant fast editing every 2-4 beats, keeping the audience interested and making aware that it is a music video they are watching and not real life

-Editing syncopates to the beat of the music.

-Singing into the camera creating a bond between the audience and allowing them to relate to the music and artist.

- Music videos are vary rarely recorded live due to editing restrictions and the different locations used in the music video. the artist then lip syncs over the recorded track and they are edited together to create the finished video.
