Emily and Helen were the two women who came to talk to us about polydor records. There roles are video commisioners which in the industry is classified as a sort of 'creative director' this means they organise everything that goes on in making the music video and linking the right people together to get the best possible product for example passing ideas from the artist to the director etc.. they do all the organising to make sure everything and everyone including all crew will be ready for shoot day so that everyone is on the same page. As we are going through the process of making a music video, they mainly talked about a rough idea for the process which would be a lot more detailed/complicated in the industry which we aware of and also the different stages which are as follows:
1. The idea normally comes from the artist as it is there video they normally know what they want to portray to there audience so they pitch there ideas to the creative team/ record label. They usually have quite specific ideas as it is there song and understandably extremely personal and how they will be represented in future. Even if the creative team have suggestions or ideas the artist will always have the final say.

3. Budgets depend on the artist and there target audience but they usually range from about 6k-100k. Emily mentioned that although a video may look like it could be done with a small budget there is a lot that the audience cant see that needs money. The sorts of budget that Polydor records use depending on the video of course but an average would be about 20k-40k.
4. Once everything has been organised and the commissioners feel like everything is on track and there will be no problems on the shoot day and they have connected everyone that is involved eg crew members:casting,director,set designer, etc the filming usually takes 1-3 days and then depedning on the video about a week to edit before the first cut is delivered they then have a chance to see if anything needs to be changed. Overall it is usally a six week process.
