MV Filming

1. CP - Singer
   1. Film yourself (and your band or others) singing the lyrics to your song in the location you chose. This video footage will be used in your MV.
   2. You must insert yourself singing your song into the video. Overall, you will switch back and forth between video clips of you singing (or you and your band) and the storyline of the MV. See the MV below for a good example (although the lighting is not the best for the singer.

1. If you watch a lot of upbeat music videos, you will find that many feature a "crew" of people who have a choreographed dance either separate or with the singer. I have noticed that many Korean MVs have the singers do this. I was very surprised that last year only one student integrated choreographed dance into his MV so he received a lot of points for it, especially in the area of creativity but he forgot to insert a separate storyline. So if you are going have a choreographed dance, which would be great, make sure you switch back and forth with the storyline plot. Although, if you have a slower song, obviously you would not want to do a dance but think of ways to be creative in other ways.
1. CP - Film Story
   1. Film your entire story or progression for the music video. Add all of the clips together and upload to YT (unedited). Ask two people to make helpful comments on what you can improve and what you did well. Also, view the video below and make sure to comment.

1. CP - Edit First Minute
   1. Using the video footage you have, edit your footage and create the first minute (minimum) of your MV; make sure you use clips of you singing as well as your storyline video. Get two people to make helpful comments on what you can improve and what you did well.
2. CP - Edit Second Minute
   1. Make revisions of your first minute and create your second minute (minimum) of footage. Get two people to make helpful comments on what you can improve and what you did well.
3. CP - Edit Third Minute
   1. Make revisions of your first and second minutes and create your third minute (minimum) of footage. Get two people to make helpful comments on what you can improve and what you did well.
4. CP - Rough Draft
   1. Make revisions of your footage and finish the rest of your editing to create a rough draft. Go back and refilm any needed parts. Get two people to make helpful comments on what you can improve and what you did well.
5. CP - Finished
   1. Submit your final video.
   2. Upload the final video to YT and name it "Title of your song" by Your Name - Music Video Project - class, MFschoolyear (e.g. MF1011)
