Music video tips

How to make a successful music video:

• We need to make a successful music video as it is meant to be the bands first release, therefore we need to manufacture a band for a song.
• We need to make sure that the image of the band is spot on; this includes styling their image to fit in with the genre of the song. they need to know how to play the instruments required so they can realistically mime the track properly and professionally. 
• Next the visuals and narrative need to be relevant and connect to the song to blend in well with the music visually.
• The band we are creating also doesnt currently have a fan base- as they are brand new to the market, therefore we need to attract the new audience through marketing strategies, including advertisements, and digipacks. 
• The best type of music video contains three different narrative strants, a performance element which the label think is vital as it acts as a fail save. A lip sync element, just simply singing in a situation with very few props. Lastly, a narrative element, the story, which will be led by genre and style. The music video will then consist of constant cutting between these narrative strands, this keeps the video exciting and interesting
• We were advised to make a prezi which involves a set of images to create a short film to demonstrate the ideas for the final product. this helps clarify the idea, and helps identify potential problems.
