Music Video Production

Music Video Production


This course is designed as a practical foundation in all of the elements necessary for producing a music video. We aim to provide you with a working knowledge of film grammar and industry conventions, basic concepts and the fundamental disciplines that are essential in production. We will deal with pre-production planning: team building; use of digital cameras; lighting, sound and simple non linear editing. Working in teams, students will produce two short videos whilst working to a set brief. The criterion for the course that you will be assessed upon is, amongst others, your control of the process technically. This is allied to the integrity of the original concept and sensitivity to the medium. We wish to see a depth of thought, originality and an understanding of the project with an ability and desire to reveal your work to others.
