Case Study 2- Emil Nava

Emil Nava started out as just a runner for film production companies, he was working for blink productions and he now freelances for OB Management! 

Emil graduated to assistant director where he started to manage video shoots, this led him on to signed with 'academy' which is one of the biggest music video production companies, he then went on to work for between the eyes but now currently works mainly for pulse. 

Emil mainly creates adverts, they generally have a higher budget but do not allow as much creative freedom. He made he loreal advert 'dare to be different'. 



However he also makes music video's, he has made 24 music videos in one year before, thats 1 almost every 2 weeks! Just like many other new directors in the business he began shooting videos for independent labels at small budgets of £5000 and £10000. But went on to make videos for Jessie J with a £160,000 budget. 

Emils first budget was for the band Kid British- Our House. The busdget was £20,000 and was located in machester, interestingly he knew somebody who lived in manchester and used all of the locals down that road to star in the music video! it took Emil 1 day to film and 3 days to edit with 10 days of pre-production. This demonstrates the amount of time it takes to make a video, 14 days, 2 weeks. 


Emils aim when working for OB Management is to nurture talent, work with production companies, work with record labels and match the right director to the right artists. OB Management work with Pulse Films, Rocket, Agile Films, Friends and Wonda. 

Emils top tips!! 
  1. Use extreme close ups on faces wherever possible.
  2. Do not shoot the whole of the video in medium shot/long shot.
