Moving backgrounds which emphasises the video’s features and gives it a special effects. It makes it stand out to other video’s because it mixes its graphics and animation with real life shots.

• What I like about the Linkin Park is how they market and promote their music through the use of their art work and the design of their images for example their album covers and music videos. Because they continuously use Japanese themes to advertise themselves they are known for the graphical designs, which in its own its in a niche market!

• Linkin Park now have a recognisable look to their videos because they techniques used constantly and have although they have changed and progressed over time, they still have a similar theme.
