2: Low Camera angles are often usually make the artist look a lot more larger and dominating.

3: There is typically a very large focus on the main artist, with plenty of close up shots and shots solely focusing in him/her.

4: A lot of the time there is a voyeuristic treatment of female extras and the artist herself if she is female.
