This document discusses several key relationships and elements in music videos. Specifically, it notes that music videos demonstrate musical genre characteristics through both the lyrics and visuals. Additionally, the music and visuals are related, and record labels often demand close-ups of artists which may lead them to develop recurring motifs in their work. Finally, music videos frequently reference voyeurism of the female body and contain intertextual references to other media like films, art, and television programs.
