2. Directors are often known for being in charge of
everyone's own responsibilities. The director has to work
very close with most people in the whole filming process.
Such as; camera person, sound person and lighting
person. This is so they know how the director wants a
shot to look. Whether it be, a close up shot, sound
increase or a dim scene. These four jobs are very
important because they create what is shown on the
music video and are the ones that represent the work
being filmed. The director will work with producers for
more ideas and editors in the post production stage, this
to make sure the right parts are being edited. Some
directors will scratch film so that it has an old fashioned
film look. A very different way to edit.

3. The camera persons responsibilities are highly important
because they control what we see and what the director has in
mind. The camera person has to make the directors vision a
reality and this can be very difficult when it isn’t your ideas. The
camera person has to understand the director and know what
they want in a shot. This is done by story boards. This is a more
visual way of showing the camera person what the
frame/shot/scene should look like. This will help ensure that
the camera person is knowing what the director wants. Also,
the camera person has to also work with the sound people, this
is to make sure the scene fits with the music and to make sure
no equipment is in the way of the shot/frame/scene. Other
than this, the camera person has to look after equipment such
as; tripod, lenses, different cameras (pro go/slow motion)
depending on what the director wants in their production.

4. Lighting is a very important part to making a music video
because this will show what kind of atmosphere the
director wants to portray. If it was a dingy scene, the
lighting would have to be dim or if it was a joyful scene
the lighting has to be bright. Other than the controlling
responsibilities, the lighting person/people, have to make
sure they have equipment, taking care of stands, bulbs,
filters, reflectors and cables, for safety issues, they need
to make sure they are not in harms way. This can be
difficult if there are a lot of cables. The lighting
person/people have to work closely with the director so
that the director can tell them what atmosphere needs to
be shown in which scene.

5. Sound recording has many responsibilities in the editing area,
in that they have to record the artist(s), more than once to make
sure they get it correctly. After the many takes, they have to
choose the best one, then edit notes that are out of tune, any
parts that need cutting or adding effects to the sound. Even
before they record, the sound management may need to change
the key of the backing track if needed. If it’s a band, they need
to record all the instruments so that they can edit each
individual instrument to the right volume. The sound team will
have to work closely with the director and camera person. The
director will tell them what needs cutting, which parts they may
want effects and any other changes that need changing. The
sound team need to make sure the microphone(s) are working,
that the recording equipment is picking up sound and that it is
set to the right level of sound.
