"Iran Protests 2026" Music Video Creation
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
I am producing a politically conscious rap/protest song focused on the Iran protests in 2026.
I am looking for a video editor experienced to create a powerful, emotionally accurate music video using real protest footage, public political clips, and documentary-style visuals.
This is not entertainment content. This is an activist / awareness video with a serious tone.
Core Message (Must Be Respected)
Iranian people (young and old) are dying while the world only gives verbal support
For 7 days, global leaders claimed to act — nothing happened
This is not a religious conflict
Many Muslims are protesting; the problem is the Islamic regime, not Islam
The Iranian government uses religion as a tool of control
This is not an “internal matter” due to proven support of terrorism in the Middle East
Verbal condemnation without action enables continued violence
No distortion, exaggeration, or propaganda. Accuracy matters.
Video Style
Documentary / protest / human-rights tone
Dark, serious, restrained
No flashy effects
No meme edits
Emotional pacing synced tightly to lyrics and beat
Content Sources
Public Instagram protest videos (I will provide clips OR approve sourced clips)
Public speeches / press clips (e.g., Trump statements about “acting”)
News footage and crowd scenes
Symbolic visuals (empty streets, faces, silence)
No private footage. No usernames shown.
STRUCTURE – WHAT GOES WHERE
INTRO / FIRST 10 SECONDS (Attention Grab)
Theme: Urgency, silence, broken promises
Visuals:
Fast cuts of protests
Gunshots / chaos / crowds
Empty streets at night
Close-ups of faces
On-screen text (minimal):
“Seven days of ‘support’”
“Nothing happened”
VERSE 1 – DEATHS & WAITING
Theme: People dying while waiting for help
Visuals:
Young protesters
Elderly people
Mothers, funerals, memorials
People holding photos
Tone: Slower cuts, emotional weight
HOOK – SILENCE & BETRAYAL
Theme: Verbal support means nothing
Visuals:
World leaders speaking
Empty gestures (handshakes, podiums)
Contrast between speeches and violence
Important: Cut sharply on rhyme words
VERSE 2 – RELIGION CLARIFICATION
Theme: This is NOT anti-Islam
Visuals:
Muslim protesters praying
Mixed crowds
Peaceful marches
Avoid: Any imagery that suggests religion itself is the enemy
BRIDGE – NOT AN INTERNAL MATTER
Theme: Global responsibility
Visuals:
Maps / regional conflict visuals
Militias / weapons imagery (news footage only)
Headlines about terrorism support
Message: When violence crosses borders, neutrality ends
VERSE 3 – GLOBAL HYPOCRISY
Theme: Attention fades, people still die
Visuals:
News cycles moving on
Social media scrolling imagery
Iran fading from headlines
FINAL HOOK / OUTRO
Theme: History will judge silence
Visuals:
Faces looking into camera
Slow motion crowds
Fade to black
Optional text:
“Silence is a choice”
“This is not internal”
Technical Requirements
Sync visuals tightly to beat and lyrics
AI-assisted beat detection allowed
Manual editorial judgment required
Aspect ratios:
9:16
Color grading: muted, low saturation
No watermarks
Deliverables
Editable project file preferred
Skills Required
Video editing (documentary or protest content)
Strong narrative judgment
Political sensitivity and accuracy
Important Notes
If you are uncomfortable with human rights content, do not apply
