1. Music
First, you need music. It can be from a client. It can be from a friend. It can be yours. Music will affect your music video production. Be it the narrative, the vision, the theme, all of the above, or something that has nothing to do with the song but still works. With the genre of music, you will be familiar with the conventions. Some will want to follow you. Others will not.
It is essential to know the music inside and out. Not only to get a sense of it but also to understand the peaks and pitfalls of the song, which can explain how it is put together. Plus, I've figured out how much work the music video will have by knowing the length of the track: a classic 3-minute song or an epic 6-minute count.
2. Getting ideas
What about singing? How does it make you feel? How do you want people to feel? There are many ways to develop ideas, and each one does it differently, to be honest. I, I listen to music and see where it takes me. The thing about ideas is that they are unique in terms of people's interests and style, so you always come to someone else from another place.
The idea of your idea can start with the image, the idea, the scene. It doesn't matter because the most challenging thing is to get started, and the idea you need to get started is an idea. This idea leads to more ideas that grow and grow in your music video production.
Now, the best thing about ideas is that you can change them. Some elements may work better than others, while adding more content performs better in other scenarios. You haven't shot anything yet, so the best thing is to be flexible and share your thoughts with like-minded friends.
3. Production treatment
Here you have to keep it in your head and keep it with someone else, there are many points for music video production, but there is a correct point from which your issue will be fulfilled. It's your idea, it's your music video, you'll get it, you're excited about it, but it's essential that other people, for example, a client, understand it.
The primary way to approach music video treatment is to focus on:
Video links with relevant notes for the focus areas.
A descriptive outline of the video production.
The mood board.
The creative collage of all the above images.
The treatment is also a great way to see how your ideas are integrated and give people the opportunity to change things that don't work and not with others because once the treatment is green When it becomes colored, you will shoot it (although there is always room for it) innovation if it benefits production).
4. Pre-production
You know what you need to shoot your music video production. Now you need to understand how to connect it. Staff, cast, dancers, support, locations. What you need and don't need. I? I live with the team I've worked with before. It makes for a smooth shoot.
In addition to the dates and availability, the delivery date plays an important role here as you may have to make some compromises to get the best result on time. If your favorite DOP isn't available, but the artist can only shoot that day, you'll only need to find another one.
Planning, planning, and more planning. You will better plan your shoot, including call sheets, shot lists, shoot schedules, and other helpful information to make your shoot day smooth.
