Ben Peters


Today we had a guest speaker 'Ben Peters' a music video director come in to our lesson today.
He has directed many music videos from well know British artists such as...
Frankie goes to Hollywood



Wiley, Kano, Ghetts





N-Dubz












Sincere ft. Natty









He then showed us hes treatment for N-dubz - I need you. It shows us how to format the treatment. He gives a brief outline of the story which is two paragraphs and then gives the whole story. He then gives alternatives which the artist might like and anything extra. He then gives some visual preferences. This shows really well how to sell your idea.

From his talk i was able to learn many things that will help me with my music video. A like my teacher Rob he explained how the image is everything in a music video. It is the only place where you can find strange and random images that make sense. For example a woman in a giant martini glass (which is in Frankie goes to Hollywood - Relax) would look rather odd but with the theme of the video and the music it seems normal to the viewer.
