Music → Have Dance Music Video, Be A Self-made Star
The images of sexual innuendos and dancing people amidst colorful lights come to mind when you hear of a dance music video. Your body is eager to get its groove, not to mention it’s a feast for the auditory and visual senses!
With the presence of Me-Media, you can be a self-made star with your own dance music video. Do not be afraid to expose your dancing penchant and filmmaking skills, regardless of how unprofessional, to the limelight of cutting-edge YouTube uploads. Who knows if you will be the next Marie Digby or Mia Rose! (Mia Rose got 35 million hits on the channels, while Marie Digby got 2 million, placing them in the public limelight!)
People For Hire
When creating a music video, you should go one step higher than home videos of yourself and your friends dancing to “Thriller”. The following are the professionals you must get:
* The back-up dancers have to stay that way – back-up! They should not overshadow you. You are, after all, the star of the video!
* The choreographer must have new moves to teach. He should also be able to highlight your expertise.
* The director is the main man for your music video. Cautiously pick one with expertise, while taking your budget into consideration.
* The cameraman must be able to capture the shots in various angles like low and high-angle shots, Dutch angle, bird’s eye, etc.
Essentially, your dance music video will be completed with these people. When you’re working on a considerably small budget, you don’t have to hire a director of photography or a production designer. Or, you can get a director-slash-cameraman and a choreographer-cum-backup dancer. However, unless you don’t wish to be in it, you simply cannot be the star-slash-cameraman!
Your Video Shoot
Before you shoot the video, you need to create a storyboard with the whole idea of what you want to achieve. Decide which aspect you want focused on – your dance moves, or the special effects.
You will have to re-shoot scenes sometimes, too. Do not be discouraged, as even the most experienced of artists and directors do re-shoots to perfect the feel of the video. If you’re a perfectionist, then making a cool dance music videos ought to be a breeze.
Upload the Video
Upload your video to YouTube when you are finished. And while waiting for those hits to come, why not make another? Watch out, Beyonce!
