case study jamie thraves


  • director-jamie thraves
  • made short films at university
  • used award winning short film as a calling card to get a foot in the door with the video production company factory films
  • began by shooting three very low budget musicvidoes-cost about £5,000 each 
this is how the process works

  • a commissioner from a record label sends a track to 5-10 directors 
  • the directors then each submit a treatment this stage is unpaid 
  • the director who has submitted the best treatment is the commissioned to make the video 
  • only then is the director paid
  • as can be seen for many directores in business it is a precarious existence where thier liveihood is dependent on each commission
  • jamie thraves submitted treatments for his twobest known videos and each was accepted 
  • jamie thraves-most recent video japanese popstars-song for lisa
  • currently videos cost about £20,000
  • shooting time was 2 days 
  • jamie has used the music videos to get into the film business
