Hi.
Truth to be told, I haven’t added that many music videos to IMDb, partly because they don’t usually include any real credits etc. Anyway, now I have a few with proper end credits.
The guide ( https://help.imdb.com/article/contrib...# ) was very helpful (especially the part where it says that no ”himself/herself” credits for the artists/bands), but I still have to clarify the last part with composer/music related credits:
”The songwriter is eligible for a composer credit and the lyricist should be credited in the music department as lyricist.”
Now, does this mean that the actual composer (or composers) of the song in the music video are added to ”Composer” department? And the writer/lyricist (or writers) of the song in the music video are added to ”Music” department? Meaning, that these are not added to ”Soundtrack” section?
Thank you again.
Edit: I was just glancing at some music videos directed by Jonas Åkerlund from IMDb (random example, basically) and in some videos there are ”him/herself” credits also listed. So there are probably some inconsistencies.
