Lyric interpretation - This is when the music video matches what the artist is saying and in goes in time to what they are singing about.
Extending or consolidating song’s meaning - Extending is when the song itself has a different meaning to what the lyrics actually read, when a music video doesn't just simply interpret the lyrics, but adds content and meaning to the song and consolidating is add more detail to what is already there.
Focus on performer - This is when most of the video is all focused on the artist or artists including lots of closeups and mid shots
Lighting for mood - This is when the lighting in the video will be used to match the mood of the song, so for example, if the song had a sad meaning, the lighting will be dim and dull but if the meaning was happy, the lighting would be bright.
Pace of cuts - This is when the pace of the video will sync with the change of the beat , this is often most obvious in the chorus.
