Music videos are an exceptional audiovisual experience. Time to time, we’ll get clients eager to make a music video for their next hit song, but they don’t know where to start. If you’re looking to make a music video, you’ve come to the right place to learn the ropes.
Concept
Your concept is a big part of your music video, and you don’t want to do something that has been done before. Think about your song and how you want the visual experience to look like. Do you want to tell a story, do you want it to be an abstract piece of art? Do you want a simple lyric video? Are you looking to just record a live performance? The possibilities are endless.
Colour Palette
Having a colour scheme for your music video helps set the tone. Colours say a lot about a visual piece. Look into colour theory and decide what overall colour theme you’d like to go with!
The Audience
Even when it comes to Music Videos, make sure you’re taking a look at your audience. What do your fans and the people who listen to your music want to see? No matter what kind of video you’re making, always keep your audience in mind.
Your Budget
We all want to make a music video like Beyonce or Jay Z, but unfortunately, videos like theirs require large budgets. When planning and budgeting for your video, it’s essential to take into account your concept and what goes into achieving it. If you need a unique location, with lots of props, wardrobe, makeup, and actors, then $1000 won’t be enough. This is an investment, so make sure you save up to get the best quality product.
