Conventions of a music video

Conventions used in music videos;
Music tempo - The beat and the pace of the music has a big effect on editing and when it is used.
Lyrics - These set the general mood of the song and puts messages across to the audience.
Camera angles - The most common shot in music videos is a close up of the artists this helps the audience to connect with the artist on an emotional level.
Editing - This is used in a way to add visual effects to the images to make it more exiting to the audience.

In modern music vidoes the a lot of the editing is done in time with the beat of the music or the artist moves to the music, this convention was used in an old cartoon made by silly symphony cartoons, cannibal capers.
This cartoon also uses very stereotypical views of african tribes, from the view of white people.
