Hey!

Do you have tips how to write music video scripts or music video storyboards? Are there special 'rules' especially for music videos?

Does someone here has a music video screenplay to look at?

regards

Hey Stefan,

Take a look at Nigel Dick's site, he's as big as they come in music videos. He has a page called Dick Teach where he basically answers your question, plus he's included a Conceptual page that have his treatments.

If you are doing a music video like THRILLER, complete with actual scenes and dialogue, a script is needed. I’ve not seen the script for THRILLER but it is either written in a traditional screenplay format or it is written in the traditional two column audio visual script format, dialogue in one column, camera shots in the next column.

If you are doing a standard music video, just singing from start to finish, a traditional script isn't needed, however a detailed storyboard and shot list is.

There is a book out titled “Making Music Videos: Everything You Need to Know from the Best in the Business”. You can get it at Amazon.Com for about 20 bucks.

Good luck.
