Choose your group wisely, your friends may not be a good choice as they may be a distraction (work over pleasure). Make sure the members of your group are reliable and that you exchange phone numbers immediately.

4. Pitch
The one page pitch is a vital part of the coursework as it is the moment your ideas are first presented together. This pitch must be simply expressed, and shouldn't drag on for too long. It allows you to explain your initial ideas for your music video through a single piece of paper that you will present your teachers with. If anything significant and original is involved, ensure it stands out.
5. Previous Student Work
it is strongly advised that you look over any previous work by other students so that you can evaluate the good, the bad and the interesting aspects of them all. For example look out for specific camera shots but ensure that they have not been used so much previously that they have become cliché. Use both the good and bad features to build upon.
6. Planning & Shooting
The best work is always well planned and performing acts such as storyboarding and discussing different ideas with your group, reflect well on your group. When filming, always ensure the date is set and the group are able to meet in the location without this it is possible that people will make other plans.
7. Editing
Always ensure you don't go over the top with special effects; they are capable of either making or breaking a project and using too much in unnecessary places could give your project an unprofessional look.
8. Screening & Feedback
Ensure that your finished piece is shown to multiple people in order to get feedback on how to improve it. DO NOT just show it to your friends as they may not want to be too critical and you may not get the answers you need.
