- Carefully plan every shot, ensuring we've filmed something for every part of the track we use in our music video. If necessary, shoot extra shots during production just to make sure.
- Prepare for production by ensuring everyone has rehearsed any choreography (if we choose to include performance in our music video) and any camera techniques, especially tracking shots which would require precision.
- During production, ensure that there is a schedule for shooting and that everybody sticks to it as rigidly as possible. (Try to accomplish shots in no more than two takes)
- Make sure cast and crew are enjoying themselves, it may show up in the music video, especially if their characters are meant to be happy.
- Whilst filming a performance, play the music that they will be lip syncing to loudly if they don't feel very confident and encourage them to sing, as opposed to miming.
- In post - production, don't mute the clips raw footage, it will help you work whether or not they are performing in time with the music.
