Making a video clip is not difficult, but it requires a sequence of steps. When creating a video clip, you need to take into account a number of nuances and adhere to some rules.
The first thing we need is composition. It will be desirable to have a rhythm or other clear structure in the composition. This will make it easier to edit the clip.
Instructions
Step 1
Choosing a style. We need one specific style, because mixing styles can confuse the viewer, confuse them and ruin the experience of our video clip. You can only combine styles if you have the skill to do so.
Step 2
Every good video clip needs a plan, a director's script. But your strength should be assessed soberly, so that it does not happen that you run out of material for the video when it is already half finished.
Step 3
A few words about technology. Most professional clips are based on parallel editing. That is, we have several video streams that intersect and sometimes overlap in meaning. Streams can differ in style, but without proper clip making experience, this should not be undertaken.
Step 4
If you're new to making video clips, make a clip based on one reference story. The characters can be positioned as desired, the main thing here is that the reference story of the clip is workable. This means that it can be shown at any time in the video clip.
We can shoot musicians during the entire clip, then the reference story for us will fit well with the clip. But such a clip will be boring to watch. Although, it is worth noting that such clips can be very good.
Step 5
We have the base ready. Now you can add a bit of variety to the reference story. Change of plans, detailing, black and white picture, handheld shooting - all methods are good here, if they are in place.
Step 6
Optionally, you can complicate the clip with parallel editing stories. If there is only one reference story, you can even make a separate video sequence without showing the musicians. You can even make a video clip into a solid comic strip with music. It is only desirable that our drawn story somehow echoes the music itself or the lyrics of the song.
