Cuts in a music video

 
 
Looking at my AS final film opening compared to a music video the first 30 seconds have a huge difference in amounts of cuts used. Shown below are screenshots I have done to show the first 30 seconds of each video and I have screenshot every time a new cut is used.

Shown in this image are the screenshots I took for this music video. In the first 35 seconds of the song 15 cuts have been used, this is a lot compared to the opening of my film for AS as we didn't even have any cuts in the first 30 seconds as we used one long shot. 



In this first 30 seconds of this music video the cuts show a mixture of close ups and wide shots for the people/singers in the video. The cuts create a zoom in and out effect of the main singer without actually using zooms. They do this by swapping close ups and wide shots after each other.
 
Also in the music video the females are created as voyeurism as they have less clothing on then the males and in the fourth shot each male has his selected female next to them. One female gets a particular focus as she has a lot of close ups which are even closer than the male singers.
