Adobe and MTV set up a competition for young directors to make a music video. In this video some professional directors give tips on how to make a good music video. One director said that the music video should either be funny, exciting or sexy. Another director gave advice on storyboarding. She said that directors should make basic storyboards as they are easy to interpret and add ideas to aswell as being less time consuming. She also said that preparation is key and that everything needs to be complete by the time of filming. It is important to plan your day to allow time for everything you need to get done. Time management is a major factor also as many music videos may be set on other peoples property. The owner of a property may need to use it themselves so there wont be much scope for overlapping time. The music video itself needs to be graphically interesting and also have elements of simplicity. The band or actors featured in music videos need to be charismatic and brave for being able to be in front of the camera. They also need to make the video relaxing and enjoyable.
