Moodboard by Slice · for music video directors

A moodboard for music videos.

A treatment is a pitch you have to win in one look. Put the verse, the chorus and the bridge on one board, and let the artist see the video before it exists.

WHY IT HELPS

Lay it out like the song

Group the references by section and arrange the groups left to right, verse to chorus to bridge. The board reads in the order the video plays, so an artist scrolling it on their phone gets the arc.

Frames from the videos they love

Artists reference other videos. Pause on the shot, screenshot it and paste it in. Pin it beside your version of the idea with an arrow, so it is clear what you are borrowing and what is new.

QUESTIONS

Can I send the treatment to an artist or label?

Yes. Share the board by link, or export it as an image for an email or a deck.

How do I add shots from existing music videos?

Pause on the shot, take a screenshot and paste it onto the board.

Can I add notes for each section?

Yes. Add text and notes anywhere, and label arrows between items.
