The process of creating a music video

Pre-Production
Planning the video and gathering any resources you might need.
    • The approximate length of the final video, how many shots you will need to achieve this, etc.
    • What music or other sounds will be added to the video.
    • A script or storyboard.
    • What format the final video will be shown in. Be aware of the best way to convert into the correct format.

    Production
    Camera work and sound recording.

    • Camera work involves a range of skills from recognising the potential for a good shot to knowing how to use the technical-looking controls on your camera. The better your skills are in all areas, the better your videos will be.
    • Vision is very important in a music video, so learn how to capture good pictures to fit the sound (music).
    • Unless you have some other artistic purpose, camera work should be steady, in focus, well-exposed and well-framed.
    Post-Production
    Editing and/or encoding the finished video.
    • Removing unwanted footage
    • Arranging desired footage in the correct order
    • Adding music, titles, transitions and possibly other effects
    • Converting (encoding) into the correct format(s)
    These are the three steps included in the process of creating a music video. These steps are essential in creating a music video, and will help to ensure a successful product.
