Tips for Making Great Music Videos:
- Keep It Original: Try to create something that stands out and reflects your musical style and personality.
- Focus on Quality: Even with a tight budget, aim for the highest quality in terms of sound and visuals. Good editing can make a big difference.
- Tell a Story: A video that tells a story connected to the song can be more engaging and keep viewers interested.
