A music video is a short film or video that accompanies a complete piece of music, most commonly a song with lyrics. Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. Although the origins of music videos go back much further, they came into their own in the 1980s, when MTV's format was based around them.
The term "music video" first came into popular usage in the early 1980s. Prior to then, such clips were described by various terms including "promotional films", "promo films", "promotional clips" or "promo clips".
Music videos use a range of styles of filmmaking, including animation, live action filming, documentaries, and non-narrative approaches such as abstract film. Some music videos blend different styles, such as animation and live action.

Video blog, sometimes shortened to vlogging, is a form of a blog that will be used is a video media. Entries are made regularly and often combine embedded video or video link with supporting text, images, and others.
Video logs (vlogs) also often take advantage of web syndication for the distribution of the video through the Internet using either RSS or Atom syndication format, automatically, to merge and playback on mobile phones and personal computers.

Vlogging saw a strong increase in popularity beginning in 2005. The Yahoo! Videoblogging Group saw its membership increase dramatically in 2005. The most popular video sharing site to date, YouTube, founded in February 2005, was publicly launched between August and November 2005. The BBC launched their first official video blog in October 2006, with a feature allowing children to name a new Blue Peter puppy. Many open source content management systems, like Joomla, WordPress, and Drupal, enable posting of video content allowing bloggers to host and administer their own video blogging sites. Moreover, convergence of mobile phones with digital cameras allow publishing of video content to the Web almost as it is recorded.One example of this phenomenon, Qik, gives its users the ability to use a wide variety of phones with data plans to stream video via its built in camera.

Bicara tentang bahasa film & video, serta konvensi-konvensi yang biasa digunakan dalam proses pembuatan film/video, misalnya : konvensi tentang pembingkaian (framing shot). Berpikirlah seperti para penulis yang menggunakan tata bahasa dalam proses kerjanya, secara umum kita juga harus mematuhi konvensi-konvensi dan aturan yang berlaku, tapi sekali lagi kita harus memahaminya lebih dulu. Kita tidak harus melakukan pekerjaan ini sendirian, kita harus ingat bahwa kebanyakan film adalah hasil kerja tim dan bukan sebuah usaha secara individual semata. Selain kita mempersiapkan dari keseluruhan tim produksi, kita juga harus menyiapkan berbagai macam peralatan produksi yang diperlukan.

Peralatan dasar Produksi (basic equipment production)

Peralatan ini terdiri dari :

Tas kamera dengan desiccant (pengawet dari silika) dimaksudkan agar kamera tetap denga kondisi kering

Kamera video, kamera video ini memiliki jenis bentuk serta ukuran yang bermacam-macam. Kamera video dikategorikan sesuai dengan kaset (tape) yang digunakan serta standar operasinya (PAL atau NTSC). Kebanyakan kamera sekarang berupa kamera digital, meski beberapa kamera lama masih menggunakan format analog.

Kaset (tape), berfungsi sebagai media penyimpanan data video yang akan kita rekam. Kaset ini memiliki 2 jenis format, yaitu analog dan digital. Seperti halnya kaset dengan format BetaCam SP atau DigiBeta (kebanyakan digunakan oleh industri penyiaran), VHS, Hi-8 (analog). selain itu ada pula pula yang berformat digital seperti miniDV,DVcam,HDV (high difinition video).

Tripod ini berfungsi agar dalam pengambilan gambar tidak goyang & tetap stabil, serta memiliki komposisi shot yang bagus.

Reflektor, banyak kamera dapat merekam dalam intensitas cahaya yang cukup rendah, tetapi gambar-gambar yang dihasilkan biasanya berkualitas rendah. Disinilah fungsi reflektor bekerja untuk memantulkan cahaya pada obyek yang kekurangan intensitas cahaya. Reflektor ini biasanya terbuat dari kertas timah atau kertas yang berwarna putih yang dapat memantulkan cahaya.

The history of film spans over a hundred years, from the latter part of the 19 st century to the beginning of the 21 st century. Motion pictures developed gradually from a carnival novelty to one of the most important tools of communication and entertainment, and mass media in the 20 st century. Motion pictures films have had a substantial impact on the arts, technology and politics.
in 1600, the camera obscura has been perfected by della Porta. Light is reversed through a small hole or lens from the outside, and is projected to the surface or screen, create moving images that are projected, be distinguished from the projected high for a movie audience, but not preserved in the recording.

In 1740 and 1748, David Hume published brochure from Human Nature and A Question of Human Understanding, to persevere and causes of the association of ideas with visual images, forerunners to the language of film.
Video technology was first developed for cathode ray tube television systems, but several new technologies for video display devices have since been invented. Standards for television sets and computer monitors have tended to evolve independently, but advances in computer performance and digital television broadcasting and recording are producing some convergence.

Write a detailed outline, treatment or script for your film. The treatment should be a succinct tense summary of your proposed video. Visualise what you want to say in the video from the moment it begins to its conclusion. Remember video is a visual medium, think it more like a short story, you’re not writing a thesis! The more you work out on paper the less time will be wasted overall. This is also the basis through which you communicate you ideas with the rest of the people who will be involved in the film.


Work out a budget. This requires experience to do accurately: You will need a camera and sound person, how many days? What equipment will you need? What format do you use? How long do you need a producer to organise the shoot? Do you need travel costs? Do you need the video logged and transcribed? How many days will you need to edit?

The production process involves three distinct phases :

Pre-production. Just before you start shooting you need to tie everything and everyone down. Make sure your actors/interviewees are available and not going on holiday, double check that you have permission to use the locations you want, be sure that the people you intend to interview know what the film is about and are willing to let you interview them. Check that you have the equipment booked and that it works. You may need to arrange training for the crew.

The following check list might help :

• Script/treatment prepared

• Budget matches funds available

• Crew/technicians booked

• Training completed

• Camera, sound, lighting and other equipment booked and checked

• Interviewees informed and interviews arranged

• Rehearsals completed

• Locations agreed and confirmed

• Transport arranged

• Catering for crew, cast, interviewees etc arranged

• Insurance arranged

• Purchase tapes

• Shooting schedule confirmed

Production. Allow plenty of time for your shooting (Think how long it will take and double it!) Once you start shooting, you’re in production and it’s too late to get organised - if you haven’t got it together in pre-production then your film won’t be as good as it could have been. Even when you have done your preparation, you can assume that Murphy’s Law will apply - anything that can go wrong will go wrong. You can allow for this by not filling your schedule to bursting point, allow for a contingency in the budget (at least 5%), and prioritising food and transport during the shoot. Don’t underestimate this: film shoots go on longer than you expect, average 12 hours a day, people get tired and hungry! Always bear in mind that you may not be able to shoot everything you planned on shooting so you should have priorities about what is essential and what could be dropped if need be.

Post-Production. After you finished the shoot, you have to get the video edited. This tends to be a long process and is highly skilled using expensive equipment. You may have access to an edit suite but check it out, connecting two VHS recorders just won’t do. Again preparation is vital and much of the work can be done on paper or on your PC. You should view VHS copies of your original tapes (rushes) and these should have burnt-in timecode (BITC) on them for easy reference. You can then write down the timecodes for the sections you will want to use in the edit. With some non-linear editing systems these can be entered on your PC to save time in the edit suite. You can go on to work out on paper how the finished video will be put together. Get all your interviews transcribed, this is essential and will greatly assist in making good edit decisions. All this will minimise the time spent in the edit suite which can cost hundreds, if not thousands of pounds to hire. The more preparation you do the cheaper it becomes. Once the film is nearing completion, you need to think about music, narration and archive material.
