Get a Script: You need a script! There are no ifs, buts or maybes... this will serve as a guide to your video and will help you to know who or what goes where and also all the scenes and transitions. As mentioned above each person has their own idea and its important to have some sort of direction for clarity. Here at Master One Productions Ltd, a script is included in the videos we shoot for our clients.
Be on Time: In this Industry time is literally money. You should have a running order which is like an Agenda or Program for the day which tells you who will show up when and the time things will get done. It is important to do make-up first as this takes the longest. The artiste also needs to not play Diva/Divo and show up at their respective time, even before everyone else.
Have all you Need: Ensure that you have all Lens and Props that you will need for the shoot. It looks really un-professional when a director or producer shows up to set scurrying around for items. If you have trouble keeping track of all you need , write a list and pack them over night.
Quiet on Set! A music Video is not a rave .. even if your song is about an actual Rave! It is not a free pass to a party but it should be taken seriously. There should be no noise, boisterous laughing or anything that is considered disruptive. There is a trend here in Jamaica where artistes tend to bring an "entourage" when they are filming. This entourage consists of : A best friend , mother, cousin , brother, girlfriend , baby mama ,cousins boyfriend and so on. Keep it professional!
Be Creative: I have seen music videos that make absolutely no sense. It's like seeing an airplane on a train track in terms of the way the video and the song differs. The Music Video has to actually make sense! It has to capture elements of the Song in a visual format.Remember at the end of it , your name will be in the end credits and will be the first thing people see when the Video premiers.
