It's not a reach at all :toofunny:

They made the decision to go all shaky cam and create fast cuts for a reason. That was a conscious decision made. It felt like the camera was trying to keep up with the energy and passion of Gaga performing. 

I think the effect they were trying to create was exactly what OP was getting at. The start with the crowd seems very dream like. You can't see anybody's faces, it keeps cutting around, time doesn't seem to work like it should. We see her performing alone in the desert and straight away see her in the same location except now she is in a crowd. We see her swinging her microphone alone and then swinging her microphone in the crowd. It's clear by the end that it was all a mirage or illusion.

It was fast paced like an adrenaline rush, it's supposed to be a little disorientating.

Exactly, the video is way deeper than it seems at first

I agree with the OP.

I somehow noticed that there are levels of choppiness in the video. As the video goes to the climax, it get choppier and choppier.  It made me feel the dynamics on the song. 

When you listen to the song with the video, there is a tendency that you might feel it's flat and that it sounds the same in all parts of the song. But when you watch it with the video, the increase on choppiness and the transitions to other outfits/time of the day helps.

I dont know if youve noticed but the outfit and scene changes are matching the changes on the energy of the song.

 

if that makes sense hahahaha

Maybe we should do a listening party but everyone must be on drugs. Maybe it only be a perfect illusion that way.

makes sense this time around

the videos were directed by different people, so your comparison doesn't make much sense
