CUTTING & DIRECTING TO MUSIC<br />
Film <strong>and</strong> edit the scene.<br />
Review<br />
How well did the visuals <strong>and</strong> music complement together?<br />
Does the choreography feel “forced”?<br />
What did you have to do in terms of choreography <strong>and</strong> camerawork to get a<br />
good edit?<br />
Did you use any background sounds as well as the music? Did they detract from<br />
or add to the scene?<br />
Followup exercises<br />
Do the same <strong>with</strong> a piece of music including lyrics, <strong>and</strong> see how this changes your approach, particularly if there is<br />
dialog in the scene.<br />
Pick the music. Now plan <strong>and</strong> shoot all the footage, but <strong>with</strong>out listening to the music as you work. Then take the<br />
footage into the edit <strong>and</strong> see if what you came up <strong>with</strong> was sufficient to work <strong>with</strong> <strong>and</strong> adequately timed.<br />
If you know a composer (or can compose music yourself), strip the existing music away, <strong>and</strong> come up <strong>with</strong> a new<br />
score. How similar are they?<br />
