4) I'd love to hear people's thoughts on how they use bridges/instrumental sections in songs.
Personally I think of them as a kind of counterpoint. If the song is generally fast/intense with clips going by at a fast pace I might make the bridge a breather with slower, more introspective sequences, for instance. One thing I loved was lowering the music volume during the bridge and putting in spoken lines, in part because voice work was a major thing I played around in the video. As someone said upthread, skipping/shortening is totally valid as well--most songs have to be edited down for vids anyway in my experience.
