Get inspired with our tips for making a music video.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Never underestimate the power of a music video. A good video will expand on the song\u2019s creative content, give your artist brand a visual accompaniment, and above all create some <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/get-bonus-music-promotion-benefits-on-push-fm-free-as-a-routenote-user\/\">promotional buzz<\/a> around your music online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many people discovering music on sites like <a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/get-channel-verified-youtube\/\">YouTube<\/a>, having a presence there is essential. Videos are <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/promote-a-music-video-10-tips-for-more-views\/\">vital shareable content<\/a>. One music video generates masses of clips and stills that can be posted across your <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/10-top-tips-for-musicians-using-social-media-2021\/\">social media<\/a> accounts, for fans to share in turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For new artists, your <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/jiosaavntv-brings-music-videos-to-indias-favourite-music-service\/\">music video<\/a> is a chance to introduce yourself to people who\u2019ve stumbled upon your band or <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-become-a-successful-music-producer\/\">producer<\/a> channel on <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/routenote-has-partnered-with-youtube-shorts\/\">YouTube<\/a>. It\u2019s also often the first time your fans get a visual representation of your style and influences, aside from on social media and promotional images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what makes a good <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/most-liked-music-videos\/\">music video<\/a> great? Start thinking about adding your first visuals to your songs with these tips for how to make a successful music video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>You don\u2019t need fancy equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no need to invest in an expensive video camera or lighting rigs. You just have to be clever about how you use the kit you&#8217;ve got.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need is a smartphone, a computer, and an idea. <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/youtubes-3-trends-that-are-redefining-video\/\">Video<\/a> editing software that\u2019s free and simple to use is easy to come by \u2013 find some online tutorials and get stuck in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t want to shoot live video? There\u2019s plenty of apps online to help you make a powerful video out of atmospheric visuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Own that low budget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t try and shoot an epic on an ancient phone. Lean into the lack of professional kit \u2013 work with what you\u2019ve got and cultivate a DIY aesthetic on purpose. See what retro video equipment you can get second hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Beastie Boys - So What&#039;Cha Want\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ru3gH27Fn6E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption><em>Beastie Boys \u2013 princes of scrappy off-the-cuff DIY music videos<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Plan everything \u2013 or don\u2019t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You know your creative process and your artist brand better than anyone. How you approach the process of planning the <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/a-firm-that-uses-ai-to-insert-brands-music-videos-partner-with-red-light-management-and-b-unique-records\/\">music video <\/a>is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a planner, work out who you want to star in the video, mindmap themes and emotions to get started, and move on to storyboarding once you\u2019ve worked out a plot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Michael Jackson - Thriller (Official Video)\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sOnqjkJTMaA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption><em>Michael Jackson\u2019s \u201cThriller\u201d video doubled sales of the single<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, head down the impromptu route&#8230; Just start shooting. If it fits the song, there\u2019s nothing wrong with a smartly edited <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/amazon-music-unlimited-now-lets-you-stream-music-videos\/\">video<\/a> showing your mates enjoying a party. Buddy up with your artistic friends and get stuck in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, make sure you pick the right song. Think of any particularly dynamic songs that are begging for a cinematic accompaniment, songs that tell a story, or your best track that you want to promote first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Get a director<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Got zero interest in learning how to shoot a <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/apple-launch-apple-music-tv-a-24-hour-stream-of-music-videos-and-more\/\">music video<\/a>? Then find someone who knows their stuff. Reach out to creatives in your local area and shoutout on social media to find a video director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve got a budget to spend, employing a director will add another creative voice into the mix, and widen your online reach. Networking with other creatives is great for inspiration. Who knows what <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/the-power-of-music-collaboration\/\">collaborative<\/a> opportunities it\u2019ll open up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Get weird<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s your <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/youtube-music-adds-easy-switching-between-audio-and-music-videos\/\">video<\/a> \u2013 you get to choose what it looks like. Don&#8217;t want to star in your own video? You could enlist that old friend who works in animation instead, or try making your own stop motion video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your music video can be as simple as a well-shot live performance, so that fans can get a glimpse of your individual personalities and who plays what instrument. Or you might naturally go for eccentric art school vibes with elaborate costumes and punky editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Coldplay - Shiver (Official Video)\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u8XFFTWwSvY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption><em>The official video for &#8220;Shiver&#8221; by Coldplay featured nothing but the band performing the song<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>What\u2019s everyone else up to?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let Hollywood-worthy professional music videos put you off making your own. Use them as motivation. Watch the most iconic music videos ever, and videos that are currently trending \u2013 forget about budget and soak up the creative inspiration. How can you apply the techniques to your own song? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to be <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/watch-a-new-trailer-for-beastie-boys-story-by-spike-jonze-video\/\">Spike Jonze<\/a>, but you can take inspiration from him and other greats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you start with a <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-lyric-video-for-your-music\/\">lyric video<\/a> with cryptic visuals that will have fans wondering which mysterious band this is, or showcase yourself as a proudly <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/independent-artist-more-creativity\/\">independent<\/a> solo artist by placing yourself centre stage, a music video is your chance to show what\u2019s at the heart of your music.
