You already have an experience in almost every skills needed to create music video. Believe me, even if you are poor in planning or editing, you will feel much more confident comparing to last year. Some stuff just need to happen. Have faith in yourself!
First very important tip is to FIGHT FOR YOUR GROUP YOU WANT! If you know some people and you cooperate with them well, do everything to be with them, as it could be a pass to high grade. Don't be afraid to talk to your teacher. They will listen to you if you'll convince them that you are right!
Tip no.2 - choose a song that you like. Choose a song for which you have a plan for already in your head. Share them with your partners. They might re-create them and improve. DO NOT STICK TO ONE PLAN. Be creative. Listen to people and their ideas. Make them better!
Music video can be extremely fantastic experience, doesn't have to be boring. Just make sure you have fun! The results can imrpove if you have funny environment in your group.
In my group, I was the only one who doesn't listen to any electro/techno/dubstep music. As my teammates were, I agreed to make them choose the song. They have a whole lot more ideas than I did, however I was trying to keep them real and improve. It was fun, girls did a good job, and even through I was awful in initial planning, I did my job to imrpove ideas and not make them "over the moon".
When it comes to editing, spend all your free time you have. It will pay off! You can create something with nothing if you are good in editing. Believe me. Me and girls were "shuffeling" all the time between lessons and breaks to media room and try to add some effects or replace clip with another one.
The most important work - SAVE YOUR WORK ALL THE TIME AND CREATE BACK UP ON YOUR MEMORY STICKS!!! Learn on our mistakes, for god's sake! Pressing CMD + S take one second, and could save you hours of work!
