Boom! Video Analysis

• Video's became popular during the burst of MTV more than 20 years ago. 
• Digital camera's and editing software made it cheap and easy to create homemade videos.

• Music video's are the perfect opportunity to be different and creative.  
• Inspiration can be taken from one specific image or object (e.g. photograph) 
• Music video's often include exciting, humorous story lines.

•  Make visual storyboards to create a final product in your head.
• Stick to deadlines, budget and plan, as well as having good time management. 
• Try to pick an interesting location, think about colours, shapes and patterns. 
• Make sure you shot someone who can perform and who isn't embarrassed under pressure (eye contact is key)
• Make the actors in the video feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. 
• Use varieties of different angles, the three main ones are wide, mid and close-up.

• When it comes to everything, check all of your untouched shots first to make sure you have enough content.
