Carol Vernallis found out that editing in music videos is way more frequent than movies. This is because it often matches the rhythm of the song and done to stand out as disjuncture.
The rule of continuity editing is broken to draw attention to what is on the screen. A lot of jump cuts and obvious edits such as wipes and special effects. Base tracks are also used with the camera moving in time with the music.
Beyonce's video, countdown, uses many of these components...
