A Love Song Techniques

Usually making a YouTube video I would just go about editing the video in my own way, merely the way I felt right. This time I wanted to refine my skills and ensure I did a better job. After doing some research I came across a YouTube channel called 'CorridorDigital', the majority of their videos contain awesome VFX and just general quality was great. I then discovered that they also had a workflow video from start to finish on how they go about creating.

With my previous videos I work with one person so going through the hassle to setup over the shoulder conversations was stressful, we usually just shot the 'Peep Show' style where each conversation consists of just one persons face in the center, looking dead center giving the feel you are actually the camera. So now, with the addition of the third team member, I made sure that Tom incorporated the more professional conversation style into his storyboard.

I've already spoken to Tom about the style of the short music video section. We have agreed to have an assortment of shots so I will have plenty to work with. I want to make sure it really hits the typical 'music video' style, the shots constantly change to show focus on your instruments, singer and also subject.
