Music Video Conventions

Most Music videos contain:

Music
Vocals
Artist
Cast of characters if a storyline follows the video
Camera Angles
Editing
Mise En Scene

One of the earliest music videos is 'House of the rising sun' by the Animals. This was made in 1964. This near enough set the conventions for a music video, listed above, as it is one of the first.

A music video that i have seen that does not completely follow the conventions is a song called ''Clint Eastwood'' by the Gorillaz for it is a cartoon, with the characters singing the song and the real artists are background singers but not seen in the video.
