Caption
Music-video edits change several things at once: location, styling, framing, and sometimes the lens. Pick one feature of the performer and see whether it survives those changes.
The face, hand, and set distort by different amounts according to their distance from the lens. That depth response is what makes the effect convincing.
Follow one recognizable detail
Use the wraparound glasses, metallic shirt, face, or a repeated gesture. A new set can change color and lighting, but the person should remain recognizable through the cut.
Then check timing. Mouth shapes, arm movement, highlights on the glasses, and the cut should feel as though they belong to the same beat rather than four unrelated layers.
Make a review note someone can challenge
Instead of writing “good music video,” record the parts that held: “The lens distortion changes with depth; the performer remains recognizable across three sets; the shirt highlights follow his movement.” A colleague can now verify or disagree with each point.
