While not compulsory, one way in which to make your blog stand out from others is to delve deeper in your research and do a case study about a specific music video director and identify their particular 'auteur' style- essentially look for stylistic devices that they consistently use in their videos that you may bring to your production work.
The website www.imvdb.com provides a music video database and can be used to demonstrate the work from various directors. You may wish to do it in terms of a specific genre of music video.
Below are a list of examples of music video directors that may be interested to do some further research on:
Romain Gavras- dark, gritty, high energy videos predominantly by electronic music artists (M.I.A., Justice, Simian Mobile Disco)
Daniels- high concept, plot heavy, amusing videos for 'indie' rock artists (Foster The People, Tenacious D and The Shins)
Yoann Lemoine- saturated colours and a slightly melancholic feel for a series of female singers (Lana Del Rey, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift)
Hype Williams- legendary music video director, predominantly hip-hop and R & B. More than 100 videos over 20 years (recently Nicki Minaj, Ja Rule, Busta Rhymes)
As always, try to share the information in a visually interesting manner. Below is a sample of a Glog I created about the music video director Tom Scharpling, who won the Spin Magazine Music Video Director of the Year in 2012- please click on the links if you are curious to see some of his videos!
