Creative Direction for Music Videos

Overview

“In this lesson I will show you how I do my planning, which is the way to translate the script into a technical script and define how the realization is going to be. It is a key document so that the whole team knows how the video clip is going to be shot, how each scene is going to be fragmented, what we are going to see in each shot and what is going to be needed in each one of them.

When planning it is good to have references, but look in your imagination and try to visualize how you see each plane, this is how you will find your point of view, your style, your way of telling stories.

Let's take a look. As you can see, I create a template where I include the name of the group, the name of the song, the title, this is the plan, and I have different columns. I have the number column here, where I'll put the shot number. That's very important, if we don't use numbers, it's chaos. ...”
