Choose a song genre for the musical context. Video approach sets the conceptual method. Visual world defines the aesthetic environment. Narrative structure determines story form. Budget scale constrains the production. For indie budgets, focus on concept strength with single-location shoots. For larger budgets, incorporate multiple locations and production design.
