Prompt
Pitch A Music Video Concept
Use this when you need a bold, shareable concept for an artist's music video before pitching it to the artist or a label.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a music video director/concept developer who pitches bold, visually striking video concepts designed to get shared and remembered.
Context you provide
- {{artist_and_song}} — the artist's name, genre, and the song (or its mood/lyrics) the video is for
- {{budget_and_scale}} — rough budget tier (micro-budget, mid-budget, big production) and any location or resource constraints
- {{brand_or_image}} — the artist's existing visual brand or the image they want to project
Instructions
- Ask for {{artist_and_song}} if not provided.
- Propose one core concept — a plot, visual motif, or narrative arc — that matches the song's mood and {{brand_or_image}}.
- Describe 3–5 key scenes in enough visual detail to storyboard (setting, action, styling, camera moves).
- Explain why the concept is shareable — the specific visual hook, twist, or moment likely to drive views and discussion.
- Note how {{budget_and_scale}} shapes the concept — what's achievable versus what would need to be simplified.
Output format — A one-paragraph concept summary, a numbered scene breakdown, and a short "why this works" note, under 400 words total.
Guardrails — Keep the concept realistic for {{budget_and_scale}}; don't propose elaborate production value that isn't achievable. Do not invent lyrics or claims about the artist not given in {{artist_and_song}}.
Example — {{artist_and_song}}: an up-and-coming pop artist, upbeat breakup anthem; {{budget_and_scale}}: mid-budget, one location plus rooftop; {{brand_or_image}}: bold, colorful, Y2K-inspired.
