This online beginner-level workshop introduces you to music video conception and editing. Create a visually stunning treatment that effectively communicates your concept to collaborators and clients. Tackle the particular challenges of cutting images in the service of a song.

Students will write a one-pager for a music video concept, use Adobe InDesign to design a treatment for that music video, and use Premiere Pro to cover basic techniques for editing video to music.

Topics covered:

• music video history, styles, and social context
• understanding music video briefs
• treatment writing for music videos
• basics of graphic design, using Adobe InDesign to communicate your concept
• pitching your idea to the music artist and their management face to face
• basics of music video pre-production: budgets, schedules, casting, crewing, location scouting, story boarding, shot lists, etc
• basics of music video post-production workflow from editing to colour

This workshop has been designed for film students, new graduates, or anyone with little to no experience who is interested in breaking into the film or music video industry.

The workshop is structured to give participants time between sessions to practice on their own and come up with questions.
