We were lucky enough to meet the professional film director, Jake Wynne.
He has directed many famous music videos, including It's Raining Men - Geri Halliwell and Have A Nice Day - Stereophonics. He was able to give us many tips about directing our own music videos.
The first tip he gave us, which I will plan to use in my final video, is to include Beauty Shots. These are shots which are usually tightly framed around the artist or on of the band members as they perform.
He also gave us tips for our shoot about planning ahead so that we can use our time effectively, as the shoot days are usually quite long but there is a lot to do. He also told us that whilst editing a girl/ boy band song we should try and give each member equal screen time, as the music videos are used to sell the brand of the artists.
Whilst working on the video for Stereophonics - Have A Nice Dayhe told us about how important it is for the director to motivate the artists so they look like they are having fun.
I am really looking forward to working with Jake in our group lip synch video later this summer.
