MUSIC VIDEOS - TOP TIPS 1

Please be aware that there are a couple of criteria which I would suggest we follow for your Music Video productions this autumn.
  • You must include a singer/artiste if not the band in your video - the only exception is if you can present a coherent argument as to why the genre of music you have chosen does NOT use this convention often.
  • Very clear and detailed consideration of mise en scene including set design, choice of locations, props and costumes, make-up and very importantly action - ask yourself the question, how are the visuals including what the singer/band/characters seen doing contributing to the mood, style, interpretation, marketing of the song.
  • How will the research I do demonstrate that I know the genre well?
  • How will I reference other texts within my own MV? (The other text might be from a range of media including MV, films, television, games, print etc.)
It is very important that you make a fast start with production in the autumn so as mush as possible needs to be prepared over the summer.
