Finalize the look of the music video based on your concept. For instance, you may want to shoot the video using a green screen so you can include special effects during post-production or you may want to create a gothic look for your video. Your preferred visual treatment is crucial when deciding what technical and art requirements you need for the shoot.
List down your scenes' props, sets and costumes for every shooting day. These art requirements will give you a projection on how long and how demanding your music video production will be. Be careful with your choice of colors, sizes and textures for these elements as they should match the overall look of your music video.
Gather the art materials you need to make your props. For amateur videos, you may look into your personal items and stuff in your stockroom for possible props that you can use. You can also allot a budget so you can buy items in any store. For props that won't be readily available in retail and for props that will be used for special effects, complete all the materials you need to create them.
Start making the different props you need. These may include any of the following: dressing props like those used with furniture, flooring and walls; hand props used by the on-screen talents during the shoot; mechanical props used as special effects materials like blood or smoke effects; stunt props that serve as softer and safer to use replicas of things used in action shots like beer bottles meant to be broken by an actor; and hero props utilized as central objects in the video.
Finalize the look of your props by painting them with the right colors and putting the right texture on them using various art materials. Try shooting them with a small hand-held video camera to see if they look good together on screen. Make any necessary adjustments, if needed.
Place your props in secured containers such as huge plastic or metal boxes to protect them during transport to your shooting locations. Arrange them according to how you will use them during the shoot. Label each container with the type of props you have so it will be easier for you to find them when shooting the video.
