Budget in Music Videos

Budget in Music Videos - Low budget Video

when making a music video you will get a budget and that is slit into a number of things that you need to consider which can limit or allow you to be as creative as possible to create an image for yourself as an artist or for your artist that you are trying to sell. Not only that but you want this video to promote the song/track that the video is for.
the Budge depends on what your concept is, the locations, props, the

Kendrick Lamar - King Kunta

In this video Kendrick as you can see is in an urban location which happens to be where he is from and grow up, Compton California. this song is a mix of g funk and hip hop and that sets the mood in your head to be jolly and happy and that is what you see in this video and this is shown by the dancing in the video and him being surrounded by his peers and the attractive females around him creating that Hyper-real reality .
as you can see in the video there are not much visual effects going on and most of the video is edited Rhythmically this means they didnt have to spend as much money on special effect. not a lot of props were used in this video as you can see because he is not trying to show himself as being a person who is very interested in material things like big jewellery, flashy cars, the newest and most expensive brands. but instead he is showing us where he is coming from and how he has become a king but still keeping humble.
this video is a single camera production that looks like they were using the camera hand held at points in the video so they wouldn't of had to buy things like drones etc.

in conclusion this video is in the lower end in terms of budget because of the simplicity of the concept. 

$35k - $50k 

Future Ft The Weekend - Low Life 

this video is still on the lower end of the video production price because you can still see that the concept is still simple and is not using a lot of props.
the song is called low life and they have used that theme in the video by shooting the majority of it in like an abandoned warehouse of some sort where low life's in the context they are using it in tend to dwell. using that location would of needed a sum of money which puts it on top of the the kendrick video. in the video you see a lot of different lighting effects one of the reasons is because how dark the location would of been also they use a lot of low key lighting to find the artist face also referring to being  a low life. 
all of this would of taking up about 5,000+
