Filming Roles // Music Video

There are four key roles of music video production these are:

• Director (responsible for organising and instructing the actors)
• Cameraperson (works with the cameras)
• Art Director (responsible for location, props, costume, makeup, etc)
• Producer (responsible for overseeing all the aspects of the shoot e.g. organising the other members of the production team and making sure the shoot runs smoothly)
• Sound Playback and Lighting Desk 

One of my favourite video directors is Tim Mattia 

He is a director and photographer, I really like his style because all his videos had a certain look to them that makes them really visually interesting and make you think about a deeper meaning.

Here are two of my favourite videos by him:

I really like these videos because the style is so different to most pop videos and I love the angles he uses and the editing style. However, the director is not the only one who worked on his video, like we are going to have he would have a cameraperson, art director, producer and sound playback and lighting person, so although the director is the main person credited on videos the other roles are just as vital as media production is a collaboration of people with specialised skills who are able to manufacture the right look to get the a good representation of the star image for the 'pop promo'.

What Filming Roles Have We Taken:

Director: Dom

Cameraperson: All of us

Art Director: Me and India

Producer: Me

Sound Playback & Lighting Desk: India

We decided on the roles by what we are all best at, however, because we only have three people in our group we have had to share some roles which is a good thing because it means we will all experience different aspects of producing and creating a music video.
