The video will often include a range of different camera shots, this can range from extreme close ups to extreme long shots. This helps to tell the story but also give different points of view (maybe the singer is being watched or followed) and also allows the viewer to watch other things on the screen besides the singer so that they don't get bored.

Post production digital effects
Post production digital effects are things that are added to the music video after it is filmed to help add extra touches to the video or make it easier for audiences to view it. this can be done through a variety of techniques, some helping to make the video more visually interesting or different and others just to help the viewer understand what is going on in the video.
CGI - this includes the use of green screens and special effects within the video so that the musician can add a strange element to their music video to help give it more of a story or just make it look weird and more interesting. This is shown in Katy Perry's E.T.:
It is also used in Linkin park's Waiting for the end:

Mise -en-scene
Mise-en-scene is the costumes, make up, hair and general setting of the music video. Most people generally associate it with the costumes, hair and make-up that the female artists where but it does also reference to the clothes worn by male artists as well as the set or location that they have chosen to film their music video in; whether it be to help tell a story or just because it looks good.
