Initial ideas on our music video

The type of music video we choose to do will depend on the genre of artist we have chosen. For example if we chose the genre, rock, the video would include a live performance, with a large crowd, which is made to look like it is a performance at a concert/gig, or if it was a rap song, most rap songs usually have the utilization of sports cars, jewellery and girls, but using things like this would be hard to find as it would cost a lot more money, therefore we will probably avoid doing a rap song.
