Music Video Study Day - Jake's Tips

Jake Wynne's Tips

  • The video should have at least 100 cuts otherwise it will seem slow and boring.
  • Use straight cuts as fancy animations can look tacky and be distracting.
  • Film from as many different distances and angles as possible to create depth and variety
  • Use lots of close-ups as they are very effective.
  • Use a slider motion of performances with the camera for depth and very interesting camera angles.
  • Utilise the whole day - make the most of the natural changes in lighting and involve the timing of the day within the narrative
  • When editing, synch up and perfect the performance shots first (multi-timeline) then add in the narrative
  • Get the whole picture right first then edit tiny details
  • The music video should build throughout - there should show a sense of progression
  • Film each shot with the length of the whole song
  • Film lots of shots of each individual band member as this will be much more interesting than one static shot.
