Common generic conventions of popular music promo videos

-The explicit and unashamed promotion of the artists 'image' as specific product with a brand identity, ready for mass consumption.

-The featuring of the artist (almost without exception)

-A wide and extensive use of shot types, camera angles and movement

- Repetition of reoccuring thematic elements and generically specific icongrapahy (One key element often being dominant and providing the skeletal structure for the promo)

-A possible narrative structure

-A possible performance element

-The flexibility to disregard realism

- Shots cut tightly to the beat of the track

- Use of special effects (lighting, animation, CGIs, in-camera effects)

- A carefully constructed Mise en scene appropriate to the content and tone of the track

-High impact instantly!
