2. With recent advances in computer and video
technology, it's become easier than ever to
create amateur music videos.
The first step is to talk with the artist to find out
what type of video they want to make. Eg.
Concept, Performance, or Narrative.
Then a script is produced. Casting is next and
then the video is filmed, edited and then it is
finished.
The average cost of production for a
professional music video is $200,000 -$500,000
dollars.

3. Generally a music video is released for
promotional purposes.
The music video is usually released before the
album.
If the music video is good it may gain interest
and become viral.
The more promotion the video gets, more
money is made.

4. Marc Klasfeld is an American music video director. He
has directed over two hundred music videos for artists
such as Katy Perry, Jay-Z, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Britney
Spears, Kid Rock and Michael Bublé.
Jesse Dylan is an American film director, and the
founder, CEO and creative director of the media
production company Wondros. Even if he only directed
the Black Keys' "Lonely Boy," that simple clip of one
guy dancing does the work of dozens of inferior
projects.

5. In the past, there would be music video
channels on tv but now music videos are easily
accessible by using youtube.
