Low Budget music Video's

Ways of making a good video without amazing equipment.

Fig Rig: made by Mike Figgis
- Cheaper way of keeping camera steady.
- Small, Comfortable.
- Good for tracking or craning, crab.

Lighting:
- Torches; good for low key.
- Sun; high key.
- White board, sheet; tinfoil on board.
- Desk lamp.

Mise en Scene:
- Framing shot.
- Leave unwanted background out.
- Green screen.
- Outside school.

Slo-mo:
- Can walk in slow motion but lip sync in time.
- Need a sped up track.
- Lip sync the sped up track while walking normally; then slow it down.



Here, only very simple effects are used. Any effect that might look very cheap should not be used.
In a music video of this genre, a good effect to make it look more expensive is by using a black and white effect and even make it look LESS clear as a video shot by a cheap camera will make the footage, by itself, look quite cheap.
Adding effects that shake the screen will make the video correspond to the music being played.
