IG3 – MUSIC VIDEO PRODUCTION
Scenario
Media production is a collaborative team effort. Successful media productions rely on team work and working within specific
roles that you should have previously identified. You are now at a stage where you are ready to commence the production and
post-production phases of your music video. You have prepared all relevant pre-production materials and you must now use preproduction documentation to produce your music video footage.
Prior to filming you must ensure that you thoroughly understand your job role and the responsibilities that accompany your role.
To ensure the smooth running of the production process, it is essential that you do not encroach on the job roles of others in
your team. Remember, good communication and team work skills are essential and every member of your production team
is expected to equally contribute to the production of your short film.
Media production is rarely a smooth process and inevitably you will encounter difficulties. The challenge for you as media
producers is ensuring that your production does not come to a halt due to unforeseen production difficulties. For this
assignment you will need to provide evidence of how you manage and deal with production (and any problems that may
arise) in the form of a production diary.
Once the production process is complete you and your team will use post-production techniques to edit your music video. In
many ways, post-production is the most important part of media production. It is the final stage of the production process that
allows you to creatively shape and mould your production into an intended vision. For this assignment you must produce
individual edits of your music video. This will help you to provide evidence of knowledge and application of video postproduction techniques.
