10 Things not to
do in a music video!
1. Well known songs.
2. Overdone effects- you shouldn’t use effects just
to disguise poor footage.
3. Aimless driving around.
4. Scenes involve booze, fags or drugs (even
simulating).
5. Shots of people just walking around.
6. Speeded up footage or footage run backwards to
cover lack of material.
7. Zooms.
8. Found footage- it should be your own unless
there’s an exceptionally good reason.
9. Attendance- less stage footage.
10. Over the top stories.
