Matching the tempo of the music to the visuals
After uploading our footage to final cut pro, renaming the footage and making a separate folder to put it in, we were ready to start editing on Final Cut Pro. However, before doing this we decided to listen to our chosen track again and try to make a rough graph showing the tempo of the music throughout:
This graph made us realise that the music was faster paced during the instrumental sections of the song, so here we would try to include lots of faster cuts so that the fast pace of the music would be reflected in our video. In contrast, the pace of the music slowed slightly during each chorus and verse, which would make it easier to lip sync our shots as we would not need as many fast cuts here. The start of the song has a very slow pace as all you can hear are the strums of a guitar, this is idea, as we would be able to show our narrative here clearly without lots of faster cuts between different shots.
