Watch a music video that promotes one of your favorite musicians (Please be sensitive to those around you, nothing inappropriate for the classroom).

With a friend, or individually, identify the production and post-production techniques you see in the video. After identifying at least 10 techniques, write about how you would approach setting up such a shot, or how you would achieve such an effect, or how you would approach the edit. Write up your findings and submit them to this folder. Make sure all names involved are included so everyone gets credit.
