Can you doing a video like this specifically on visual treatments and how to create them?

[BabyBackManiac]

Even though I know I'll probably never shoot a music video, the concepts you explained here really helped me get my head around how to plan a video. Thank you!

[josephmikucki]

This is perfect, man. This past week I started thinking about listing my shots so I know I don't waste time, even with a run and gun event. Gonna definitely be following this format! Got a subscription off of this one.

I have been following sooo many channels focusing on production/design over the last couple years and soooo many channels fade in and out for me. I gotta say, YCImaing has stayed consistent and I still always click when I see an upload. You are always putting out helpful and engaging content. Thanks!

I agree completely YC that pre-production is one of the most important things to do. It saves time and helps you get all the needed shots and a couple of extra.
What I usually do is 1st come up with a concept, then write a story, then write a script, then make a story board for the most visible scenes and then I know what shots I'd need then when I know what shots I need I write a shot list witch is composed of all the shots and make a diagram of lighting setups and camera movements for different scenes. When that is done I do a shot plan witch is a shot list but put together all the scenes that can be done as one shot and using the same lighting setup. This is to judge what to do move the lighting and camera or do a wardrobe and makeup change or anything along these lines.
One of the most important things to do is I judge how many takes and how long they take factor in how long it takes to set up for each shot and factor in some buffer time of something goes wrong. This lets me create a really tight scheduled that we can stick to so that people know what's being done when and of course from this I can make an equipment list so that the lighting can be moved when makeup and wardrobe is being done etc.
On our last music video we were only 5 minutes behind scheduled when we were finished and in 14 hours had to move all the setups, crew and cast trough 5 locations on a half a mile radius where we had to be on time since we only had 10 min at a time to stop traffic in some places.
Without preparation the video would not have happened and would have been way way over budget even thou the budget was really really low in the beginning.
So great advice YC! :)

I shotlisted for a music video for the first time two weeks ago, it's completely done and it's easily said that it's the best work I've ever done.

[stTakeMediaFilms]

This is so true! It makes you look professional & helps my day go 100% smoother

[cmdp]

Yup. A shot list helps me to stay on task and move smoothly thru the set

[victormhowley]

could you make a video of how to do a video treatment?

[eirjordan]

Shots shots shots shots shots...everybody! Good advice. I think its also helps to keep in mind that you don't need to come up with everything at the same time in one sitting. Write, revise keep going. Thanks!

I always get scatter brained this process eliminates so much confusion &time waste! I’ve been trying to learn how to work with the app shot designer as well. Salute bro!

[BlueTangoProject]

Superb intro to shot lists... and why I should start using them. Thanks!

[rrfilmproductionOfficial]

Really good job with your videos. Very organized, concise and thought out. Great job bud.

[MohamadNoorRizal]

I always think that this stuff is important but I dont know how to implement it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[stergios]

The most important thing for Photo/Videographers!
