Case Study 2

Emil Nava

Emil Nava began as a runner for film production companies, he worked in the beginning for blink productions and now freelances for OB management. After working as a runner Emil Nava graduated to assistant director and afterwards he signed onto academy who are the biggest music video production company, he the went on to work for between the eyes and now mainly works for pulse. 
He has now begun to produce advertisements for different companies, these advertisements have a far higher budget than a music video and higher production value but allow for much less creative freedom.

At his busiest work period Emil has made 24 music videos in one year, when he began shooting videos for independent labels  the budget for the video would be very low and only somewhere between £5,000 and £10,000 as a contrast his most expensive to date was for Jessie J and the budget was £160,000. Emil's very first budget was for the ban
d Kid British and was for the track Our house, the budget for this was only £20,000 and the locations was in manchester also the cast was only the local people that lived nearby to the filming location, there was only one day for filming and 2/3 days for editing and only 10 days for the pre- production, this task demonstrates the very tight timescales involved with producing music videos.
OB Management:
This company works as agents for music video directors and their main aims are to: nurture talent, work with production companies, work with record labels and match the right director to the right artists. Some of the production companies that OB work with are: Pulse films, Rocket, Agile films, Friends and Wonda.
Emil's Top Tips:
Use extreme close ups on faces whenever possible and do not shoot any music video fully in medium shots/ long shots.
