Final Music Directors
1. Music Video Directors
What is a music video?
A music video is a promotional tool for an artist. It sometimes serves to bring
attention from a label, but more often it is a starter for CD sales or artist song
downloads. A hit video can do a lot for the director but its primary goal is to serve
the music artist and make them achieve higher sales and promote them to the
audience.
What do music video directors do?
Music video directors are responsible for storyboarding and composing a shot-by-
shot vision for the music video. They must listen carefully to the song and
synchronize their video with the rhythm of the song. Music video directors must
collaborate with the production crew and the actors to create a unified music video.
A director is responsible for determining how the film moves, sounds and looks, as
well as for the performances of the actors. On set, the director takes charge of the
artistic and technical aspects of the video. They hold auditions, conduct rehearsals
and approve music, costumes, scenery and locations.
