How much should i charge for music video production services?

[Rockaway]

I am starting out as a music video director, but when clients ask me how much to charge i never know what to say out of fear of scaring them away, i can do a music video which looks very professional on a budgeto f 200 pounds and have done, but thats worryingly cheap, at the same time i dont want to overcharge and scare customers away. Aany tips on coming up with a rate card and how i can go about sorting this out?

If you are just starting out you probably shouldn't charge much. When you have a decent portfolio you could probably charge quite a bit. James Wade (director for Snoop, Strong Arm Steady etc etc) did our video for free as long as we covered accommodation and a flight (he only wanted basic accom as well, just no sleeping on someone's couch).

Yeah I say 500-1000 for professional quality for a director with a small rep & little paid work in the past

Do a few for free then charge around $500! You can't go wrong doing it this way. Check out my music videos at brannustudios.com

Count all your costs that u have to pay to make the video, plus give your time a value. This is afterall your work, and u prolly have bils to pay, clients know that.
