Describe how the video director and the featured music artist might clash during making of a music video, making an issue over “artist control” of the video.
What will be an ideal response?
Friction can erupt when a director wants a music video to take a certain approach creatively, while
the performing artist disagrees by favoring something else. A properly drawn artist recording contract
specifies who has ultimate control over style, content, and choice of director. Usually, it is the artist that
controls. However, the final product belongs to the record label, and the label retains the final approval
on edits. Occasionally, directors of high status control the “final cut,” but that’s rare.
