The thing I learnt first and foremost is that you can make a music video with pretty much any camera and budget it doesn't necessarily have to be high end and commercially produced, this can be backed up by the video I used to for my shot count analysis which was produced by and indie director.
- Before you start planning it's best to have a "good idea" of what you want to create and a way to do this is by jotting down random ideas for inspiration and from this you can pick and choose.
- Although not necessary, funny aspects and/or sexy aspects are good to have in a music video as this can allow you to be very experimental.
- Having a basic story board can always aid in visualising how your video will look and will become extremely useful when it comes to the filming process, this is also a good method of preparation.
- Preparation and time management is key for something like this, setting yourself deadlines and having things well prepared will make the process easier and much more stress free.
- Experimenting can change good ideas to incredible ideas, even if it's experimenting with simple aspects such as angles for example.
- Capturing an enjoyable process is very important, the actor(s) need to be comfortable in front of the camera and making eye contact with the camera (audience) this will create a confident atmosphere.
- One of the last and very important things I learnt was that a good concept and strong visuals are key, this is something that can be shown very simply through the use and understanding is mise on scene.
