Being an up and coming artist means you need to take advantage of all the tools you have at your disposal to help market your musical talent. This includes having your own music video. Having your own video does not mean you need bags of money, there are many ways you use your ingenuity and achieve your dream while on a budget.
The very first step is writing your song. If you are looking for some great ways to save money, you can visit beat sites or hip hop instrumentals on the internet. There you can lease or buy beats online. You can then use these beats for your recording. Once you have your song recorded, you can now proceed with the video.
The second step is finding the right spot or location for your shoot. You can do it out of doors or within an enclosed room. Make sure that you make a plan about how you want the video to look. Will you need to repaint the room? Props? Is the room well-lighted?
After you have made your plan and have found the right location, you need to have your camera ready. You will need your computer handy. You may also need a sound system so you can hear your song as you shoot the video so that all elements are "in time." You can get a friend to shoot for you or you can use a trusty tripod. The trick is making sure you know the range of the camera is using a tripod or you will be out of frame.
Shoot as many times as you can so you can have ample recordings to edit. The idea is to shoot one scene. Stop, and then shoot another scene. Shooting in the right sequence also helps make editing easier. After the shoot, edit your video and once you are happy with the product, you can now post it online.
If you are doubtful about your video making skills, you can use software that is readily available on the internet that will allow you to edit and add effects to your video. However, this would still require shooting the video. Try asking art or film students to help you out. They would love to be able to practice their craft and you will get your amazing video without breaking the bank.
Just remember that your song is the most important element in your video. Without it, there is no point in having a music video.
