2. There is a relationship the lyrics and the visuals.
3. There is a relationship the music and the visuals.
4. Need for close ups to sell the artists from the record label, artists may develop motifs.
5. Frequent notions of looking (screens within screens) and particularly voyeuristic treatment of the female body.
