Music Video - Scene File Settings

Luckily all music videos are exactly the same, so there is only one set of scene file settings to consider... :huh:
 
A local Hip Hop artist wants me to make a music video for him. There will be a couple of interior and exterior shots. Don't know much more at this stage.

If you have some scene settings that you think will help him, why not draw up a list?. Otherwise I don't think sarcasm is either useful or particularly relevant at this point.

Not trying to rock the boat here.

Film Division, I've sent you a PM, I'll try and help you as much as I can in regards to getting the type of look that you're after but like I said, I think it's gonna come down to Post work.

luckily he's right.

you'll wanna go with low MPED, low chroma level, and a shutter of around 120th. Because it's a hip-hop video, that makes the setups easier because all you need is a street corner with a lowrider, and an interior with big light panels in the background. I'm not sure why, but there's some sort of law about every music video EVER being shot like this. must be the patriot act or something.

Are you serious?
I mean, hip hop video with interior/exterior shots...? Ah, now I see...
The only thing letting me assume a certain style here is the "hip hop" hint, but I mean hip hop is big and not all about cars, woman and bling-bling...
so how about a link to the artists homepage, a description of his style or a description of how you imagine the video to look like?
Maybe there´s a video you admire and try to achieve a similar look?
Do you like it all contrasty and desaturated or rather with midcontrast
and poppy colors?
Do you wanne get the look as close in camera as possible or would you rather shoot for maximum DR and tweak color, contrast a.s.o. in post?
If your doing a MV you will have to know and prepare A LOT of things in advance - the scene file would be one of my LAST concerns...
The best setting won`t help if the vid is badly lit, shot, edited or directed.
