Features to compare and contrast within an analysis of music

There are various features to compare and contrast when considering the evaluation of a music video for instance.
These are as follows:
-Mis en scene ( Involves lighting, set, props, actors and actresses and their positioning, hair, make-up and costume, editing)
-Tempo of music
-Colour scheme
-Demographics
-Notions of looking
-Effects
-Depths of field
-Sounds that aren't related to the music but are heard through the music video ( Asynchronous sounds)
-Transitions of shots
-Focus pulls
-Match image cut ( for instance : it is raining and there are two different characters in two different shots. Both shots link the same image of the rain and the character)
-Montage
-Framing ( single frame, double frame etc)

This list is very helpful when considering comparing different music videos.
