• Attractive Artist- Makes the video more eye-catching for the audience.
• Interesting Location- Makes the music video more appealing. Also tells a story to the audience watching.
• Good message- Gives out a positive statement to the audience watching 
• Choreography- Makes the music video more entertaining to the audience. Making the audience wanting to join in with the dance moves if they hear the song again. 
• Image/song music should all match- Ensuring the images link with the lyrics of the song.
• Strong Narrative- A good way of illustrating an important issue that the artist wants to address to the audience.
• Fast Edits - Which keeps the audience more entertained whilst watching the video and enables them to keep watching to follow the storyline of the artist/character within the video.
• Originality - Having a video that is out of the ordinary and varies from different artists. Making it more unique and making the music video itself have a unique style.
• Tempo - To keep the audience entertained through a variation of different tempos , instead of hearing the song on one main tempo. 
• Attractive Bodies -Which will attract the audience more to watch the music video
• Repeated Central Image- Relates the song lyrics back to the main image of the song
