Because they are so many music genres, every music video includes different styles and characteristics, It all depends on what genre the band/artist play. If its a slow song, the camera work and and editing may be done in a way to reinforce the slow song, where as if the song has a fast tempo, the editing and camera work will be done in the opposite way. The mood and meaning of a song can also have a huge affect on how the music video may be produced. Most music videos are mixed with narrative and performance parts.
Cinematography- causes a big impact on meaning. Movement, distance and angle both play a part in representation of the band/artist.
Editing- the most common form is fast-cut montage, rendering many of the images impossible to grasp on first viewing, so ensuring multiple viewing. Often enhancing the editing are digital effects, which play with the original images to offer different kinds of pleasure for the audience. Editing is often set to the tempo of the musics beats and rhythm
Mise En Scene- is everything in the scene, so everything important and necessary will be showed in the scene or sequence to show narrative structure, or just the band/artist performing.
Narrative/performance- Most music videos have some form of narrative structure within the video, the narrative usually reflects back on to the lyrics of the song to reinforce the meaning and representation.
Representation- in music videos, representation of gender, stereotypes, age, social class are an important factor of music videos. Even the band members are representation something.
Genre- should be reflected in types of mise-en-scene, themes, performance, camera and editing styles.
Symbolic codes are used also, symbols used may not have an obvious meaning unless you know what it means, then it will make sense.
