Music videos talk

Last Friday we had a talk on how music video is created . Two ladies who came to speak to us showed us three videos which they have created . they were completely different and were filmed in different styles . They told us how that a lot of directors have different styles and they all want their videos to be very unique and as interesting as only possible . Before they come to an agreement on one idea they have a chat and only after that they can decide which idea to do . Some artists who talk to them to find out what they might want to see in the outcome , know what they want to do and can straight away see a clear idea of the future music video . Those who doesn't know , they just let the directors to do what they only want to . They also told us that there is always going to be to sections of people . Those who really like the idea and those who think that the idea is rubbish . before artists start doing anything they have to write a brief and send it to 5-10 directors , so that they can have an idea of what might be a possible outcome . If it is a new artist who is working on the project , he/she can put some imagery in it for a better presentation and for a more clear understanding of what they want to do . They also showed us some printed sheets with the pictures from the video . It looked like an initial ideas page , as mostly there were just bullet points with the description to the pictures . I found really interesting how different those videos were and I also saw a clear line and a clear difference between them in terms of the budget which was put into a certain video . They also gave us some advice according filming our own school music video and they said that before the shooting day you should have everything ready . You should have your story board and everything that you might only need to , because if something goes wrong , you have your whole music video written step by step and you can easily fix something up . So , I will take their advice into the account and will follow their suggestions when preparing for my own music video , as i want it to be perfect .
