Job Roles For Music Promos

Cinematographer

A cinematographer in a music video has the responsibilities to direct the camera-work. This involves them having control of what camera angles they use and what parts of the set or actors they film. To be a successful cinematographer, you must be creative to be able to think of unique shots that will capture the audience eyes. You must also have great knowledge of how to operate a camera as that is what a cinematographer works with and is a key aspect to the job. 

Director

A music video director is the head of music video production. The director conceives of videos' artistic and dramatic aspects while instructing the musical act, technical crew, actors, models, and dancers. They may or may not be in collaboration with the musical act. There are what a Music Video Director at a glance should follow: Film production, Film editing, Writing (treatments and scripts) Storyboarding, Hiring and managing a production team, Working within a budget, Time management and Networking.

Production Designer

A production designer has the responsibilities to create and design the visual aspects such as costumes, makeup, sets, graphics, props and lighting. They work closely with the director and producer so they can create the design style well. A production designer must be able to think on the spot to fix any problems that rise and also to be good at communication especially with their ideas.

Producer

The responsibilities a producer has for a music video is to manage the making of it such as by organising the financing and coordinating the directing and editing. A producer must have good motivational and communication skills and to take lead on decisions which shows leadership. They also must be very well organised so the project doesn't fall apart. Producers must also have commercial awareness which means they should know what makes a good music video and how to market it to the audience and and distributors.

Over all, I would say that the job role I would like to take for the music video is the cinematographer. This is because I like to be in control of the camera as I enjoy working it and creating different types of shots.
