PROS AND CONS OF MAKING A NARRATIVE MUSIC VIDEO


PROS:
  • You can often take into account what the song is about to help choose what you want your video to be about
  • The script/storyboard doesn't need to be as tight and clear as it would have to be on a short film
  • Acting can be a bit looser (direction can be less specific) 
  • Song will tell the actors how to act
  • Pop songs are simple to interpret (for example nearly always based on a simple break up/relationship storyline)


CONS:
  • You have to write a script
  • You can end up just portraying what the song is about without any interesting ideas
  • You need a good, able-bodied cast to make sure it looks less armature
  • You have to have a clear storyboard
  • It may end up looking like a short film (if you don't include things like lip-syncing)
  • Choosing one song and sticking to it
