Music Video Planning & Preparation - Music Video Production (Job Roles)

When making a music video there are many different roles to be undertaken. As this is my coursework project I will be performing all of these roles except from the role of executive producer which has been assigned to my Media Studies teacher as he is overseeing my project. Usually there would be a different person for each role.

Executive Producer
The executive producer controls the timeline of filming along with the budget costs.

Writer
The writer turns the original concept into a full script, or, in the case of a music video, uses the song's lyrics to create a narrative that contains a visual embodiment of the song's intended message.

Producer
The producer is in charge of the creative team along with planning out a shooting schedule.

Director
The director is in charge of everything, they have full creative control and oversees everything that happens.

Storyboard Artist
The storyboard artist works with the director and producer to develop a storyboard and visualise the script.

Camera Operator
The camera operator controls the cameras, shoots the scenes and operates the lighting.

Sound Technician
The sound technician's job is to make sure that dialogue and sounds are recorded properly.

Editor
The editor gets the final footage and cuts it to a suitable length whilst finalising all of the footage into a final piece.

Production Manager
The production manager oversees and controls the day-to-day co-ordination of production.

Actors
The talent.
