Editing- Pace of editing

I have analysed a song similar to that of my chosen song. Ritual Union by Little Dragon has around 15 cuts within the first 0:30 seconds. The shots start of as being slow and long but they gradually build to be of a fast pace, with many shots being only a second long. It is all part of the mood and tone within the start of the music video. My track for my own music video has a beat of four- so I should aim for my shots to either last for four seconds, or to have four one second shots dependant on the style and editing point in my music video. As I am currently in the editing process I will keeep this in mind when cutting my film into shots.
