4 Mistakes To Avoid When Making Music Videos

[@tjsn-4vision]

Bro is 100 percent right about talent wanting to switch up IN EVERY SHOT! This is very frustrating!

[@Tiin3m]

support please!!!

[@oceano87]

I didnt realize it until you said it but showing all of my clips within the first 30 seconds is whats making my footage feel stagnant. Im 1000% gonna move away from doing this!

[@agustinarrarte7952]

Bro, definitely u should make a tutorial on how to make that, rocky messy vintage look!! Decrease the size of the frame, and zoom into that, trying to equilze ?

[@tomdchi12]

I was around for those early 80s days of crazy music videos (watching, not shooting) so I'd say combine #2 and #1 - talent wants to wear a different jacket in the close-up vs. the wide? Lean into it and change up the entire outfit! Light the wide with green and yellow, and the close with magenta and blue. Just because you're in one location doesn't mean some trippy alternate reality stuff didn't happen between the shots. It's a music video. Lean all the way into some crazy style changes. Also, that fire shot at 4:02 is... well... fire.

[@DRAMAFLS_official]

Shades being on and off is not small 😂😂😂 … these artists always on a mission to mess up our shots 😂

[@itsjeveryday]

Love the vintage aspect. I did that a long time ago. I do it on tons of album/song covers I do when the artist sends me cell phone pics to use lol. Such a useful way to turn low res into dope project.

[@tltegoluv]

I love how u always share from you perspective as an indi artist I not only right, produce, engineer and sing my songs I also shoot my own music video and this is very helpful so thank you!!!😊😊😊

[@Nginyonginyukie]

Chopping the song into sections to keep the viewer glued to the last bit.

[@elijahcarraby5083]

Putting the videos into sections is something I never really thought about great vid

[@dereksac1]

I am pleased with the info that you share about video. I've been a videographer for about 12 years and just now getting into doing independent projects thank you for taking the time One love brother.

Good on you Fred! You got this

[@JayFingers]

While I agree with you re: continuity, I don’t know that your examples are really indicative of what you’re saying. Hood up in a close shot but down in a medium comes off as a stylistic choice IMO, not necessarily a continuity error. And really, if the video is more performance based than narrative, then those small gaffes aren’t too much of a big deal. Just my thoughts. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing. ✊🏾

[@xaviermichel9452]

When you’re shooting for a different perspective of the same scene, making sure everything is the same is important. The viewer shouldn’t know that it was recorded x amount of times. Continuity is very important in film making. He explained it perfectly

[@JayFingers]

@@xaviermichel9452 In a narrative film or video, sure. In a music video, especially one that’s performance based, not so much. Viewers aren’t idiots. Unless it looks like a oner, viewers know that several takes are required. This is a medium in which a lack of continuity can be forgiven as it can be seen as (like I said before) a stylistic choice. Look at classic videos by Hype Williams, Francis Lawrence, and Paul Hunter and tell me their “continuity errors” detracted from viewers’ enjoyment and appreciation of them.

[@The_Real_Black_Jesus]

That "capitalize on your mistakes" is a trick used in every form of art lol. Be it music, painting, drawing, writing, etc. It's a good tip.

[@YCImaging]

100%! I always keep this in mind

[@MVPMoneyB]

Amen!🙏🏼 💯

[@envisagefilmshouston]

ACCURATE!!! WE AS FILM MAKERS WE LOVE TO PERFECT!!! I MYSELF DID AOT OF THESE MISTAKES!!! BUT YOU LEARN AS YOU GO!!!

[@TaurellFussell]

I think in music videos continuity isnt a big issue unless it’s a narrative style music video…. Usually that matters for shortfilms etc

Continuity for sure is a problem, i try to have photos taken during or between takes for reference, makes the process a lot easier!

What you do at 0:30 is actually a jump cut. We gotta see u put those bad boys on for it not to be. Continuity has to do more w set/scene consistency.

Always great information

[@MelodeusForever]

I do have to say there has been more mental contemplation for my video projects and with that being said, maybe I over think that I have space for areas where the idea doesn't quite come together the way that I've envisioned but I have space to mold a fairly decent idea but great points! I think the first 2 points is something that I took notice in review and always mindful of going forward. I'm not sure if the real excitement is actually coming up with the idea, shooting it or getting back to editing!!!!

HELPFUL AF

[@Long_Dream_SA]

I agree there's mistakes that just compromise shots... Kind hard to control a mistake when the artist(s) wants it though.... But with practice I guess everything works

[@OTRBRANDON]

I pull out the note pad in my phone every video you make. Thank you for sharing the information.
