We went to Shoreditch and we got to meet a music video director/editor who has made videos for many bands and artists, including Stereophonics and Robbie Williams.
Over the course of the day, he gave us many tips for making our music videos as effective as possible. The one we focused on most was:
1. Performers should not be nervous
In order to get us to experience what it can be like to be a performer in a video and to help us to 'lose our inhibitions', we all performed in our own re-make of the Robbie Williams video for 'Let Me Entertain You'. We got to dance and mime as well as film and be in charge of the lights.
We also learnt:
2. Use close ups
3. Prepare the setting(s)
4. Cut then cut again
5. Synch lyrics with miming
6. Have a simple concept
