Initial research on how to make a good music video

I have done some independent research on how to make a good music video. Firstly I decided to find an unsigned artist that has made a track/song already to show the representation of the genre and storyline of the music video. I will base the music video on the genre of UK rap with the codes and conventions of a US music video. As a group we will pick a song that will suit the genre othat we will explore and we will then pick a desired location in producing the music video. The music video will be at least under 4 mins long as the song will tell a story and show an effecive representation of the genre [Rap] that we will explore.
    Secondly, I will brainstorm about the music video on how I would like to illustrate the production torepresent the emotion of the music video. Thirdly, I will make a shot list where I will draw sketches of shots that I will use in the music video. I will then choose a type of style I will use for the video. e.g maybe shoot the film in black and white/colour. Also I will consider splicing and featuring in the music video as splicing can create effects in a music video and features will show who is in the production.
    I will then start shoting with the camera and my desired location that would suit the genre of the song. As a group we will undertake multiple takes which will make the music video better and the editing will be more simple. After this I will then edit the video by loading all the footage into an editing system. In the end I will add effects to the music video to put the finishing touches on the music video.
