The group shot is a common convention which is conformed to in almost every music video and in some is almost exclusive like in the Teriyaki Boyz song "Heartbreaker" (Left). This shot is used because it show the artist playing the song which they have written and recorded and having the band in the video for the song is iconic. however in some videos this convention is subverted like in the Arctic Monkeys "When the Sun Goes Down" video where they do not appear to perform but instead play minor cameo roles where they are leaving a building and getting into a car.
