Music Video Suggestions

1. School appropriate music please.
2. Pick something that the audience will enjoy and relate to.
3. Avoid dark music with questionable themes.
4. Your visuals should tie with the message of the music.
5. Write down the lyrics and number each line, then plan your video by each line.
6. Pay special attention to the chorus. Your visual shots of the chorus will be repeated.
7. Try to use some unusual camera angles.
8. Keep the duration of each clip short.
9. Try to cut your video to the beat of the music.
10. Consider using: props, dance sequences, costumes, lighting effects, bright colors to contrast with your backgrounds.
11. Have a back up plan in case of rain.
12. You might run out of time to film all the shots you need. What you can do then is to take an existing clip and put an effect on it so the clip looks entirely different. Wait until the end to do this as a last resort.
