Make a music clip :: Question

[Luke Sparkes]

Hello.
In about 1 month I will be shooting a music clip for a local hip&hop band and I need some help on how to do this.

At my knowledge the way a music clip is made, you play the song while shooting and the band sings along and then you edit it and synchronise it with the studio recorded song. Is this the right way to do it? Anything else I missed?

I really appreciate your input.

You are correct. That's the way it's done.

Get lots of coverage. Lots of different angles. Wide shots, tight shots, super-tight shots. Stationary shots, moving shots. Closeup of this, closeup of that. Have fun with it, and get more coverage than you think you need.
