From this I have learnt that the main way shots are cut from one to another is using a straight cut.  This makes the editing look sharp and clean.  This music video was quite raunchy and displayed a range of relationships throughout which is typical of this type of music video.  None of the shots last longer than 4 seconds which suggests to me that when creating my music video there shouldn't be any long clips. A varied amount of shots were present in the 30 seconds that I studied which suggets to me that I need to cram a lot of differeny styled shots into my music video and change them reguarly.
