Music Video Tips

10 tips I would give to anyone making a music video would be:

1. make sure you choose at least 3 locations to film different parts of the music video in
2. plan the different shot types and camera angles to allow you to prepare for the possibility of needed advanced equipment
3. ensure you have a reliable artist to feature in the music video
4. ask the artist to practice lip syncing the song before the day you are due to shoot in the various locations
5. plan for various outfits to be worn in the locations and ensure the artist is aware of this
6. ensure the artist makes eye contact with the audience
7. make sure you have access to high standard software to edit the music video
8. ensure that you understand how to use the software to edit the video
9. edit the music video with a fast paced and non-repetitive technique to ensure the video is entertaining and enjoyable to watch
10. have a shooting schedule planned and follow it to ensure all the shots, camera angles and locations are covered; this will ensure you have plenty of footage to use when editing
