From the first few videos i've looked at from Spike Jonze, a few key features come up in alot of the videos. He often works with artist such as the 'Beastie Boys', 'Weezer' and 'Fat Boy Slim'. Often a diegetic intro is included with possible or in the case of 'Da Funk' diegetic sound is playing throughout. Another feature is the 80's style film grain effect used to make the video seem more like a film, for example in 'Feel The Pain' and 'Sabotage'.

The videos are often set on location in a large city such as LA or New York and are often Concept or Narrative videos with occasional peformance footage. In the case of 'Undone' and 'California' the footage is all shot in one take. He also uses intertexuality in the case of the video for Buddy Holly which is based of the show Happy Days. The videos i've looked at also include dance and performance with comedy elements also thrown in for example the video by 'Fatlip'.
Overall we can already see he has a distinctive style and is very successful because of it. He has produced over 50 muisc videos aswell as working on short films and has helped produce Jackass and other succesful feature films.
