Ideas for a music video production

Nicole Melia

Artists

• I have selected these pictures of the artist because the songs they produce are some of my ideas for my final piece. It includes artists such as Beyoncé, Dolly Parton, Calvin Harris

etc.

Settings

• A huge part of a music video is the setting this could be from a plain room (Sia- Chandelier),

to on the stage at a festival (Ed Sheeren, Hardwell etc.) or even on a beach (Nicki Minaj – Starships) . The setting is telling us where its based and can relate to a story they are trying to tell us e.g.. Route 24 with My Love is filmed in a night club and tells the story of a typical night out in the club, without the setting it

wouldn’t make sense.

Settings

Props

• There are hundreds of props that could be used in a music video and usually different

genres have stereotyped props that they will include such as an indie genre song usually

includes a guitar, A rap song will include money, A pop song will include a microphone

etc.

Props

Costumes

• Costume tells the audience a lot about the genre for example in a rap song the costume

usually includes the main rapper in baggy clothes with a lot of heavy gold necklaces and rings and will most likely have a half naked girl

dancing in the background. For a Rock or a Gothic genre it will include black clothes with

the odd few colours, they will have think unusual makeup/face painting on and black

finger nails.

Costumes

Camera Shots

• Shots are an important part of the music video they show you everything that is happening. There are so many shots for so many things, a extreme close up would mostly be used to show emotion where as a long shot would be used to show what everyone's doing.
