​Your challenge is to create an original music video based around the conventions of a specific style and industry professional.

​

The styles are either:

 

• Performance music video

• Narrative music video 

• Abstract music video 

 

You must select one. 

​

You must evidence technical skills influenced by an industry professional.

 

For example, if you have identified the director's role as an area which interests you, you may use skills utilised by Chris Cunningham, Hiro Murai, Floria Sigismondi, Cole Bennett, or any others, in your own music video. 

​

You are free to select a song of your choice. However, any language deemed too offensive will have to be muted. It is advised that you choose a song that does not already have a music video.   

​

• Edit to the music: This doesn't mean just cutting to the beat or tempo, it means listening to the tone and energy of the song to allow it to influence the way you edit.

• Know your keyboard shortcuts: Shortcuts can make editing faster. Find out which operations you use most often and learn their keyboard shortcuts like the back of your hand.

• Develop your own style: One of the most beautiful things about music videos is that they allow filmmakers to really explore their creativity. It's the perfect opportunity to take risks and experiment with your craft to develop your own unique visual and editorial style.

• Keep things interesting: Audiences aren't willing to stick around to watch a boring music video. Make sure that your project stays interesting by introducing new, unintroduced elements and effects further along the timeline, and avoiding reusing the same effects over and over.

• Save: Often.
