Miley Cyrus - Party in the USA
Vernallis' theory suggests that The star of the music video should be the main focus throughout however, there is usually a background of performers in a performance video. In this case, Miley Cyrus is the singer therefore, all eyes are on her, even though she has people in the background dancing behind her. Vernallis doesn't think this takes away from the main artist as long as there is the right kind of staging so Miley here is placed at the front to make the audience aware that we should be watching her.
Another of Vernallis' theories is that the lip sync should be obvious to the audience, therfore there should be close ups of the artist to show them singing the song as she believes that this reels the audience in which makes them by the video because it makes the artist more engaged with the performance if they can see Miley singing the song.
Party in the USA is edited to the beat as the change in melody cuts to the scene of Miley on the swings which matches the tune of the song very well as well as matching the lyrics 'Feel like hopping on a flight' whilst she swings back and forth.
