Pros and Cons of making a Music Video

ProsThe pros of making a music video is that it is an easy way to help promote an artist. It can be used to advertise an artist, their songs, which can be easily be put on social media sites or YouTube to make them easily noticeable to their audience. Also if I did choose this area of media to study for my coursework, it would help maintain my interest in the music area of the media. It is a very straightforward task with a clear objective and is a very open form of media, being able to choose from different types of music videos to create such as narrative, parody, performance and surrealist. By creating a music video, this will also give me various skills in the future.

Cons
However the cons for this music video would be finding an artist or a band to film with, if we were to decide on creating a performance video. It could also be very time consuming with lots of re-shooting, and organisation with the artist could start to get difficult. As it is also being filmed by students, it could start to look very unprofessional and resulting in lots of messing about not taking the project seriously.
