Emil Nava began his career as a runner for the film production companies, he worked for blink productions and now he is a freelance for OB management. After working as a runner graduated he graduated as an assistant director, where he would manage the video shoots. He signed to an academy who are the biggest music video production company, he then worked for between the eyes and now works mainly for pulse. Emil's first budget was for the band kid British and the track, the budget for the track was £20,000 located in manchester, they used local people for the cast. They filmed for one day and edited for two to three, the pre-production took ten days, it demonstrates the very tight timescales involved.
Nava being a music producer really kicked off for him, he directed Jessie J's hit single 'Wild' with Big Sean and Dizzee Rascal. The video got over thirty two million views.
Nava begun to make adverts which generally have a far higher budget and production values but which allow for less creative freedom.
This advert is different to a music video because they have to include a lot more for example the model needs to look like their advertising the product and they also need to include the product, because its an advert they also have a limited amount of time to include everything they need to so the shots need to be quick and cleanly edited.
Nava also directed Paloma Faith's '30 minute love affair'.
This video fits paloma faith's style and song perfectly, she's very glamorous and the song plays along well with the costume and setting.
This song is an award winning hit my Ed Sheeran himself, the video completely contradicts the song but thats what make it an Ed Sheeran video, the lego house is featured in the video and the songs called 'Lego House', this video is one of a kind and really describes Sheerans personality.
Top Tip!
one of Nava's top tip was to use an extreme close up on the face whenever possible, he said that you should never shoot the whole video in long shot or medium shot.
This is from another of Ed Sheeran's video called 'You Need Me' also directed by Nava, this video had a budget of £35,000
