UK hip hop music videos commonly feature certain conventions: hoods and flat caps are worn to portray a "gangster" look; videos typically involve direct speaking to the camera along with interactions between characters; drugs, sex, and violence are openly depicted through lyrics and imagery; graffiti and shots of music studios are also frequently included. The genre also makes use of fish eye lenses, medium shots of characters, and occasional clever camera techniques.
