How to Direct a Music Video

While I was doing some research on music videos I came across this and found it very interesting how different directors plan and capture a music video.


The director in this video is directing a Hip/Hop video and even though our music video will not be like this, they will have the same pre-production and set-up as our own. He shows many of his methods and tips for shooting the artist. He talks about a 'wide shots' and 'master shots' and the method of 'covering', where if you have several locations with different props in them, you need to get all the shots done in one day to avoid wasting time by revisiting the location.
