Overview

• After watching some of the videos by Endeavor Media I have realised that a lot of live footage of the bands are used, with a simple storyline plot occasionally used. I think this has a good effect for the genre of music used.

• Endeavor Media are a successful company who make good music videos so I will keep in mind some of their techniques when filming and producing my video.
