Music Video: one of the most accessible ways that individuals can begin a career in directing. By its very nature, the music video is stylistic, expressive, evocative, and free of many of the constraints of standard narrative filmmaking.
In today's market, no rock band puts out an album without an engaging music video. The video should capture the style, essence and music of the band, and many bands use videos as calling cards to get gigs and major label interest.
However, most bands lack one necessary skill when it comes to making a video: the knowledge of how to visualize, conceive, produce, shoot and edit the project.
With this in mind, the New York Film Academy has specially designed the One-Week Music Video Workshop, taught by music video directors in a hands-on program of total immersion. Students will eat, drink and breathe music video from start to finish. The pace of this seven day course is feverish, and each student will complete his or her own version of a short music video to be screened at the conclusion of the course. The curriculum is designed for people with little or no experience in making music videos. |
