How to make the video

Through my research on how to make a music video i had found that there is a lot of planing and schedule behind all of it. I found that first and foremost  there must be an idea on what the video is going to be about, it can be a story or simply a choreography display. The choice of video is entirely up to the director. Once the idea has been cemented further planning such as locations, actors, times and camera angles must then be decided. We decided to have a tragedy as the basis of our video, the song chosen will be "Always" by Killswitch engage. We looked through numerous story music videos to get an idea on what angles to use, lighting swell the typical type of location to use. We also had to get an actor and actress swell as a band for the video itself. We had the idea of making a hybrid video in the sense that half of it would be a band playing and the other half would be a story of a relationship. Another thing we noticed in our research was the use of editing. Though we had the physical part of the video established, eg Acting, Lighting, Camera angles etc we still needed to add effects and transitions. A lot of music videos use colour filters, saturation filters, Video FX as well as transitions. This would help our video run more smoothly to help portray the story and meaning behind the video. Below is a video i created showing the different editing techniques that could be used in the video, this is done through Sony Vegas pro 13.
