This document discusses several key elements of music videos including demonstrating genre characteristics through visuals and lyrics, adding new meanings that don't contradict the lyrics, and having a relationship between the music and visuals. It also notes that record labels often demand close-ups of artists and artists may develop recurring visual motifs in their work. Frequently there are references to looking in mirrors or direct addresses to the camera along with intertextual references to other media.
