Music Video Director Research

A music video director is someone who would direct a music video just as a film director would direct a film. Their job is to come up with an idea for the music video, along with input from the artist and the co directors and shoot the video, edit and then put it into production.

A common trait of a music director would be similar to that of a film director; they would usually have their own individual style and would mostly stick to a genre of music e.g. R&B.
