This is describing a style of editing - see context below - any help gratefully received. Thanks, Susan

Découpage / montage / valeurs de plan : le film se déroulera suivant un principe de zoom/dézoom qui donnera un sentiment de plan-séquence (aucun cut) qui traduit la vie, la réalité, et donc nous montre une tranche de vie, à l'opposé d'une réalisation "clippesque" (pas de montage haché, d'ellipse de temps par le montage, ni d'effets clinquants gratuits)

agree  Melissa McMahon: '"video clip"-style direction' is fine I think, "MTV-style" also comes to mind, but might be a bit liberal...
