When he began shooting videos for indie bands and labels the budget he would be given would be approximately between £5000- £10,000; Which is not much money to make a music video at all.
His first budget was £20,000 making the video for Kid British's song 'Our House.'
The whole video was filmed in Manchester, featuring all the local people who lived in the area. This music video was filmed, edited and produced all in approximately 2 weeks. 1 day spent filming, 3 days editing, and about 10 days post production.
Kid British - Our House.
Nava has also directed videos such as,
'30 minute love affair' - Paloma Faith
'Picking up the pieces' - Paloma Faith,
'Lego House' - Ed Sheeran
'You need me' - Ed Sheeran,
'RIP' - Rita Ora
'Do it like a dude' - Jessie J
'Price tag' - Jessie J
All of his different videos vary, and he is capturing the artists and songs within his videos.
Look at how different his video for Rita Ora's - RIP is compared to Ed Sheeran's - You Need Me.

-Use close up shots on faces where ever you can!
-DO NOT shoot the whole video in medium or long shot.
*& I think these two videos where a prime example of both of these tips and used very differently.
