Music Video Director's

The Best Directors:

David Fincher- A hugely world known director of many mediums. He is probably best known for his words in products such as 'Seven', 'Gone Girl' and 'Fight Club', again all widely known films. Madonna, George Michael, Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake.

Spike Jonze- His breakthrough video for the Beastie Boys song "Sabotage" won four MTV Video Music Awards, and he went on to direct several music videos and commercials throughout the 1990s. 






Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Jay- Z, The Notorious B.I.G and Fatboy Slim are just some of the huge artists that Jonze has worked with.

 Jonze has directed several popular music videos and  films, earning an Academy Award nomination for 'Being  John Malkovich' and an Oscar win for 'Her.

As well as the greats, I have then also further researched into who I would consider my favourite Music Video Directors.

Mark Romanek- Romanek was given his first Grammy for his short video for 'Scream', performed by Michael Jackson and his sister Janet. Their collaboration was so iconic, and is now referred to as the most expensive video ever made, seeing as it cost $7 million!

Another brilliant video Romanek had made was Taylor Swifts 'Shake It Off', which is personally one of my favourite videos. I love how she has represented all versions of dance, and even tried to attempt them herself! Other honourable video mentions are Jay-Z's '99 Problems' and Coldplay's 'Speed of Sound'. 



Director X- This man is probably my most favourite director of all time! He should be known by everyone, as somehow he has managed to work with the majority of the biggest artists in the 21st Century.

From the likes of Usher, Kanye and R.Kelly to the really up to date Drake, Rhianna, Bieber and Nicki Minaj, it is clear that there is not really an artist that Director X hasn't worked with!
